Novorapid frustration

[Tony337]

Hi Tony,

Thanks for your reply. I hate it when it becomes a rollercoaster and for no definable reason. My levels were much better this morning, right back down to 7.4mmol/L, but that was after having to correct and then eat something at 5am this morning because I had a hypo. I'm just so worried at the moment about whether I've taken enough insulin for what I'm eating. I'm on a new vial of NovoRapid today, so I'll see if that makes a difference.

Best wishes

Rob

Hi Rob
Do you have a CGM?
I have a libre which has alarms set below 3.2 (libre is always lower than a finger prick) and 9.0 (to see off a high)
and i have to confess to being obsessive in keeping my levels good.
My watch talks to my phone too so i know where i'm going with a quick glance.

I obviously see off a low by eating and a high by going for a walk or taking extra insulin.
My libre makes it easy for me and i rarely go above 10 and i've never flaked out either and can operate fine above 3.

I do have issues from time to time but 50 years a type 1 has taught me not to beat myself up when things do go west.

Again i have only given you what i do as that is all i'm qualified (lol lol) to do.

Insulin resistance is a curse to all diabetics.
