[QUOTE="azure, post: 1450090, member: 39639"] [USER=355355]@Mynameiskez[/USER] Your bolus can carry on working after two hours. As [USER=32394]@catapillar[/USER] says, a rise of 1 or 2mmol is ideal and not something to be worried about :) If it was me, I'd do some basal testing first to make sure that's ok. I'd also set an alarm to test in the night if I was going low. Once I'd got my basal checked/sorted, I'd move on to checking my meal time ratios. As for the periods, I think any change, good or bad, can occasionally cause a missed one. Unless you have other symptoms, I'd forget it for now and see if it settles down as your body gets used to your new regime. Edited to add that there are other insulins available if you find the ones you're on don't suit you. I've found nurses/doctors tend to have their 'favourites' but we're all different and not all insulins suit all people. [/QUOTE]
