Said to take 20 units twice a day.
I will get the pump tomorrow afternoon but in the meanwhile I am very anxious about taking this novolin and maybe having lows or what not. What do you think? Any pearls of wisdom? I have not been without my pump in over 2 years. I am to tell you the truth, pretty scared and freaked out  |
I know squat about 70/30, so I'd be concerned too! I think if I had to go a few days or more, i'd want Lantus for my basal and take my boluses with a needle, just like on a pump, with Novolog or Humalog. I'd get back to the doctor before you do the first injection...
