[QUOTE="carandol, post: 328081, member: 51220"] I've just started injecting insulin. I'm currently on a dose of 3 (what units, I don't know?) Novorapid before each meal, and 10 Lantus before bed. (They're planning to up the dose once they've figured out what I need - its so far brought my average down to around 12, from the 16 is was before, so we're getting there but not there yet). I injected Lantus for the first time last night and it made me feel distinctly weird - spaced out, and my skin felt really sensitive (some people pay good money for that sort of drug :D ). It only lasted about 10 minutes, but it was very odd while it lasted. I thought maybe I was having a hypo (though I wasn't sweating or feeling weak), so I prepared to grab some glucose tablets, but thought I'd check my blood sugar again, and it had gone up from the 12 it had been when tested before injecting, to 13, so it's a good job I didn't take the glucose! I'm wondering if this feeling is something I should be worried about, is it common, is it because I'm new to insulin and that was my first big injection, or what? It doesn't happen with the small injections before meals. [/QUOTE]
