[QUOTE="holly.king03, post: 1119051, member: 287555"] Although I'm not on Novorapid (Humalog), I also experience this. Personally I think mine is down to low motabilism because as soon as I do 10-20 mins of fast paced walking to or from work my sugar levels drop, otherwise they're sluggish - so I'm going for a thyroid test to see if my hyperthyroidism is kicking in yet (anotherj oy of being diabetic!) I went on a bloomin KAT1E course (newest one) and they said we can inject just before or up to 15 mins after eating but that seems a load of bull - never considered injecting that far ahead so will have to try it out... I also purchased the libre and it's awesome - but get some optimum neo test strips because the libre is roughly 4 mins out (meaning it's sending a reading 4 mins behind what it actually is) so if your bsl is dropping/rising rapidly, it won't be accurate. Therefore take a blood test with the libre and it'll show you. (Sometimes I know I'm having a hypo when the libre doesn't say I am, and then when I know I've come out of it the libre will say I've just dipped) I would say that a KAT1E or DAFNE course is fantastic at giving you information that even your GPs and diabetic nurses won't know, so definitely push to be on one. I was always told it was a major waiting list but I got on one 3 months later so you've just got to be as flexible as you can. But ultimately, you can do everything right and diabetes will still kick you in the behind so you've always got to count for an element of surprise! [/QUOTE]
