Hi All,
I've been using humalog to try and fine tune my BS around meal times and to beat the dawn phenomenon. I'm only injecting between 0.5 - 1.5 units in the morning or to cover evening meal(low carb meal). I get hypo symptoms 30 mins to 1 hour after injecting but when i check my B/S it's actually risen. Last night, for example, i took 1 unit at dinner time, i was 5 mmol before and 2 hours after 5.8mmol 3 hours after 5.7mmol , with hypo symptoms i.e. weakness , nausea etc
Can anyone explain this? I go much lower than 5 mmol after an hour in the gym i get down to 4 mmol without hypo symptoms.
I was under the impression rapid is supposed to lower you around 2 mmol per unit , could this be insulin resistance?
Please don't bother replying if all you are going to say is "your levels are fine" or "don't know what the fuss is about" etc etc
