Hi all.
I am type 2 and I am on Humalog Mix 25 and it always kept my sugar level readings at ore or less 7.0, I was then put on another injection that i take once a week its called Ozempic, one of the side effects is feeling sick, so i started on 0.025 for 4 weeks then 2 weeks ago it was upped to 0.050. now i take my Humalog Mix 25 in the morning 44 units, then the same in the evening, I have noticed recently that although I have a balanced meal my sugar readings have gone haywire. like today, I had Muesli with chopped Banana for breakfast, my reading was 6.1, I had Eggs on Toast for dinner. at 14:00 my blood reading was 4.3, I had a small can of coke and a slice of cake to bring my reading up, at 16:00 my reading was 10.9 at 18:30 I had grilled Salmon, 4 small boiled new potatoes, and Sprouts. 20:40 my reading was 6.2. I decided to have a small xmas pudding with some tinned custard (because i knew my blood reading would plummet again) this was at 21.00, by 22.17 my blood reading was 4.4, so i have had to take 2 glucose tablets and a small coke to bring my reading up again. I am getting worried now as it cannot be doing me any good keep having to throw glucose and coke down my neck. do you think I should lower my Insulin units from 44 down to 42, I cannot get a doctors appointment for over a week. this seems to have stared happening since the Ozempic has started getting into my system. and has anybody else had this problem. Thank You all. Health wishes.

Do you not have a diabetic team you can contact via phone?/

It's dangerous to give out dosing advice so nobody will and you really would be better talking to a DSN about the situation, hypo's are part of an insulin regime though and they can happen for any number of reasons with no rhythm and sometimes you may know why they happened and others you wont ever work out why it happened unfortunately
