[QUOTE="Hertfordshiremum, post: 2472086, member: 507802"] Novorapid lasts around 4 hours and is at it’s peak after 1.5 hrs after you have injected. It’s generally not advisable to inject the same insulin again within the 4 hours (unless you are ill) as you will be overlapping your insulin, this is called ‘stacking’ and you can then have a massive hypo that’s hard to correct later. A lot of factors effect absorption rates so if you injected and went for a quick walk it would probably peak quicker than if you were watching TV. Keep a lot of detailed notes at the moment as everyone is different you will start to realise what effects you. [/QUOTE]
