[QUOTE="Fenn, post: 1931456, member: 474433"] When you start it I believe normal practise is to start you on a low dose and slowly increase it. I say this because I was awake the whole first night worried I would hypo but there was no need to be worried and lose sleep, It will take a while to get your dose right, I became frustrated with my still high numbers so decided to whack some in one day as an experiment, believe me it is working and much more potent than you may realise so don't do that! slow and steady wins the race I guess :) I should also say that insulin isn't the evil that it is made to sound on the forum, if you aren't producing enough of your own then its a life saving drug and nothing to be afraid of, unfortunately you will hear a lot of "I don't want to get that bad and end up on insulin" on the forum, this makes you feel great but if you need it, you need it, it is far less harmful than high bg numbers.
