| Q re Lantus & Novorapid Can anyone help me please? I have tried to get advice from the diabetic nurse but she is on holiday until 8 April & the other nurse is out! Today I started on Lantus & Novorapid...
8am B/S 7.3mmol. Took shot of Lantus. Skipped breakfast
11am B/S 6.0mmol
12:30 B/S 5.5mmol. Took shot of Novorapid. Lunch:2 slices of toast & a latte.
14:45 B/S 14.3mmol (eek)
16:00 B/S 4.7 mmol
When I saw the reading of 14.3 I didn't know what to do. Should I take more Novorapid to bring it down? Or wait until dinner? Or would the Lantus work on the high reading? But Lantus doesn't peak, right? So how come I've dropped 10mmol in just over an hour?
Sorry for all the questions but seeing as I can't get in touch with any diabetic nurse I'm feeling a bit lost. I have rung my doctor & left a msg for him to call me but that could be after 6pm & I'm concerned how quickly I've dropped (& could still be dropping).
Thanks
p.s. I have been walking a lot today.
