[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1906058, member: 30007"] Right then, to start with, NovoRapid isn't so Rapid (many people don't see it making a difference to glucose levels for 30-60 mins. Typically it also lasts a lot longer than you have been told as well. It might be worth you reading the following article: [URL]https://www.diabettech.com/insulin/why-we-are-regularly-wrong-in-the-duration-of-insulin-action-dia-times-we-use-and-why-it-matters/[/URL] The half life of insulin in the body is around 57 minutes, so at four hours there is still 1/16th of the dose active. This may not be very much insulin if it's a small dose, but it's still there and still having an effect. The reality is that insulin really lasts about 7 hours and can still have an effect at that time. [/QUOTE]
