[QUOTE="Derek Cotter, post: 454152, member: 70594"] Hi, I am on Humulin M3 30/70 fast/slow mix twice daily. I started this three weeks ago as my Gliclazide was no longer working sufficiently so I am very new to the world of insulin! Yesterday I awoke with a temperature of 38, a massive head cold and the sweats. I ate one brown roll and my levels went to 20mmol/L and stayed there for hours I just woke up at 4am and my levels are still 19mmol/L. I`ve increased my dose but is there an average amount that I should be increasing it by? Any help would be great. Thanks, Derek. [/QUOTE]
