| A couple of questions from the newbie Right before I go to bed I check my BS and make sure it's not under 7mmo/l (was told to eat if it was). But lets say it's 5-6 and I decide to eat, and I'm hungry so I eat a solid meal with bread. I would then take 8 IE of novorapid right before the meal.
Since I'm tired I would then go to bed after 30 minutes or so, should I then set the same dose as every night with Insulatard? I usually set 10 IE, but since I just set 8 IE of Novorapid, won't that lower my BS quite a bit?
Almost same question, but after I came home from the hospital, I notice I'm quite hungry (lost some weight the week in hospital). So I can eat at noon, then at 2pm I'm hungry again. Do I still take 8IE insulin at both meals? Seems to be working, but I'm just afraid of taking too much and getting very low BS?
Thank you =) |
