It’s definitely something you won’t have to get use to!As a rough guide, 1 unit of insulin (novorapid in my case) should lower your level by 2-3, so 6 units should definitely have lowered yours! That said if your level was on a steep incline, then the 6 units would need to level it out before reducing it. I take it your not having a high carb meal before bed that would increase it?It does sound like your insulin needs replacing. I’ve had it before when it seems to stop working! This can happen if it’s left out and gets a little too hot.I take it you are having a long acting injection that ‘should’ be working over night?I’d definitely follow the advice given and speak to your nurse/doctor to get some help.</blockquote>
