[QUOTE="nigelho, post: 1107061, member: 41170"] Hi Ian, I'd consider doing carb counting instead of injecting a set amount of novorapid at each meal. ask you DSN to teach you how to carb count and how to work out what ratio's to use. There is also a chance that the novorapid has stopped working. Mine did about 2 years ago and I changed to Apidra. What ratio do you use for your dose correction and what mmols do you aim for? You need to match the carbs eaten vs the amount of insulin injected. 22 units of novorapid at each meal is a lot especially normally, but as it's clearly working you may have become more insulin resistant. I am very insulin resistant and in addition to my Apidra I take 2 X 500mg Metformin SR tablets for each meal and I do carb count. Get yourself on the DAFNE COURSE. Do you inject the 50 units long lasting in one go and at what time of the day do you inject this. Are you having 4 meals a day to be injecting 22 units novorapid 4 times. What ever you doing is clearly not working. You'll get more help on the DAFNE Course. If you're still very high get yourself to A&E as you've been high for quite a while there is a chance of ketones in the blood. [/QUOTE]
