Now switched to Humulin Kwikpen.

Hi dave,

No experience of insulin and so hopefully someone will answer.
You are on a lot of BP meds which may be adding to your fatigue as some list tiredness as a side effect.
Best to see your HCP and get a medication review.

Think either your night time dose needs reduced slightly or eat something small just to see you through the night. If you waking reading were about 5 or 6 mmol/L you'd have more energy. ps Dave that's some list of meds you're on...you're definately the Tablet King lol lol

Hi Dave I am sorry I cannot help either as I am type 2 but just started on humulin 1 kwikpen only been on it 3 days, I am sure someone will be able to help you.

I use Humulin kwikpen. Your morning readings sound low. How often do you use it? Id definitely mention it to the nurse as it might need adjusting. If its just the night dose they can change that. I was told the night dose affects breakfast readings. I take it before breakfast and before dinner now. If you are hypo ing overnight it can make you feel tired and rubbish all day. Definitely speak to tour nurse.
