[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 2023551, member: 374531"] It's definitely the socks then! There's been some speculation, and one or two studies, about how different batches of fast acting have different potencies. I hadn't paid much attention to those, but after using cgm for a few years now, I've seen situations where some boxes of novorapid just seem to be "stronger" than others, so there might be something in it. I suppose it's possible - we like to think every batch of novo or whatever we get is going to be consistently the same, but in a mass produced factory situation, there's a whole lot of things which might go wrong. I've been re-reading Stephen Ponder's book Sugar Surfing recently. It's reminded me that, depending on how a person's biology is running that day, a lot of insulin can be destroyed long before it gets anywhere near doing its job, because insulin antagonists will be having a field day. The flip-side is true too: there'll be days when the antagonists won't be in play, so the same dose might have a much greater effect. It's one of those known unknowns which we can't measure (but fortunately sortable with some Jaffa Cakes!). [/QUOTE]
