[QUOTE="LucySW, post: 710193, member: 113749"] Do make sure you test around night and morning - I'd consider setting the alarm to test at night. Metformin is an excellent safe drug that among other things lowers your insulin requirement so makes what you take more effective. But it makes the liver less able to deliver glucose when you are running very low or nearing a hypo. Seen in that light, that insulin dose is quite high. Last thing - if after three days there's no reduction in your husband's BG, it could be a bad insulin batch. Apparently it happens occasionally. Either way, get straight back to the doctor. [/QUOTE]
