| What I can tell you about the two types of insuline is the following:
- Actrapid I take 3 times per day. Bellow is copy/paste something I found on net about it:
"Actrapid contains a type of insulin called soluble (or neutral) insulin. When it is injected under the skin it works rapidly, within 30 to 60 minutes, and its effects last for about eight hours. It is usually injected 15 to 30 minutes before a meal so that the increasing blood glucose levels after eating can be controlled. Soluble insulin is often given in combination with intermediate or longer-acting types of insulin, which provide control over blood glucose throughout the day."
The effect of one shot takes about 4 hours. After 2 hours from the first shot it has the maximum effect... this is when I have to eat between lunches ... around 20 HC
So I eat 3 lunches in the morning, dinner and at night and three other between them when the actrapid has the maximum efect.
- About Insulatard... I take it every night and this is what I found about it:
"Insulatard contains a type of insulin called isophane insulin. This is known as an intermediate acting insulin. When injected under the skin it helps to control blood glucose throughout the day. (See the information leaflet provided with your insulin for more information about when to inject the insulin and how long its effects last.)
Isophane insulin is normally used in combination with a short acting insulin, which is given before meals to control the increasing blood glucose levels after eating."
Thank you a lot for answering... I really like to learn and read all about this things...  |
