Hi
I am type 2 on insulin, and have just been put on a high dose of steroids for vasculitis. I knew mybm would go up so at the first meal after steroids I incresed my novorapid by 4 units, my usual apres meal reading would have been mid 6s but it was over 22. I have taken another 4 units and increased my Lantus by 4 units but I am still getting a bedtime reading of 19.9. should i take more fast acting and or go for a midnight stroll.Basically I am asking if I can continue injecting until I get a reasonable level??? I have used 40 units Lantus and will increase this again tomorrow, my usual is 36, and most of the time I average 10 units of nova rapid.
