Hi,
Up until recently, I've been using Novolog Flexpen for my fast acting insulin, but I've been forced to switch to Humulin R. I'm being careful with how many units I give myself, because I know it can be volatile if you use too much. But the Humulin R hasn't been working very well and my blood sugar has been staying in a medium-high range. Should I just use a higher dosage? Or is the insulin not working because I'm new to Humulin R? If anyone has experience with Humulin R or switching insulin types, I'd love some advice. Thank you!
