[QUOTE="Molly56, post: 773579, member: 84857"] [USER=109452]@Bev18[/USER] ....thanks for the reply....is useful to hear other peoples experiences and what to look out for... It's early days as yet and still only on 10 units once a day ...though this will increase I know...he should be taking 12 units from tomorrow and then increasing further if bs levels remain over figure given by nurse.......can also see that it will increase to more than one injection a day including short acting at some point but will cross that bridge when he gets there...so far so good though...despite any reservations that I had.. I did also have the thought that he may suffer from hypo like symptoms as his blood sugar levels come down and his body gets used to dealing with lower levels.....he has been running on high for so long that reducing them must have an impact on how he feels...will watch out for this too... I was a little unsure about the timing that was suggested but think this is because he skips breakfast....taking it at night initially seems to be the norm....but don't suppose this will matter if as he moves on he is told to have more than one injection a day....at this point they can introduce a bedtime one...
