[QUOTE="Molly56, post: 768748, member: 84857"] [USER=37714]@Jaxx01[/USER] ....according to the book supplied Humulin 1 is an intermediate acting insulin with a peak after 6 hours and then tailing off over remainder of 24 hours..I think this is just the starting point and regime will change over time, probably to similar as you are on...though I know he will not be happy about having to inject more than once a day....is inevitable though I think... The nurse did talk through how to treat a hypo but he has it in his mind that he will not have a hypo....is worrying as he won't have anything with him to treat.....am going to buy some glucose tablets and Lucozade today to have in the house so that I am at least prepared for when it may happen.....that is assuming I am around when it happens and not out at work etc..... ..he is also reluctant to test so can see that this may also be an issue if he has signs of having a hypo but will have to cross that bridge when he gets there... Is good to hear your experience and that of others so that I know what may lie ahead xx [/QUOTE]
