[QUOTE="F1nola, post: 2301522, member: 203073"] Hello. Novorapid is your fast acting the other is slow acting and normally is used to sit in the background. I would suggest you speak to a diabetic nurse so the idea is you background insulin is there happy sitting there I take mine every 24hrs the novo rapid is used for you food or carb intake. I count carbs and ratio it against my insulin so if I have an orange I know they are super high in glucose so I would work out the carbs and take insulin. Even if you are on a low carb diet most veg and fruit even milk has carbs so you need to take you’re nova-rapid for them. Ask can you have training for carb counting I think this will make it clear also it means you can learn how your body responds to exercise. if you take insulin remember it takes 2-5 hours for rapid to finish working. Remember your BM will rise with stress, infections, and hormones as well as host of all other things. I’m sure you know never add insulin outside of you eating. Hope all goes well [/QUOTE]
