It looks like a pretty normal NovoRapid response in absence of any other information.
 
Hi static192!

I suspect the Novorapid simply isn't fast enough to catch the spike but it is the correct dose - any more and you'll hypo after two to three hours. You could try injecting the Novorapid 20minutes before the meal to try to catch the timing of the spike - but be careful to keep an eye out for hypos before the sugar from the food has had a chance to release.

hey eveyone i increased my levemir and injected 24 units instead of 20 unit of levemir at 10pm at night sugar was 10.2 then after 4hours at 2am i restested and checked my sugar it was 10.7 then 5hours at 7am later today i checked my sugar after i woke up it was 7.5 so looking at sugar levels before breakfast but i will continue to check througout the day to see how my sugar is since i increased my levemir
