love to make people laugh...the gobbling candys from the purse makes total sense to me....this one is better...many years ago I got low at the fabric store. I was already stressed up about getting the black velvetine fabric for the gown I was making for a ballroom dance party. The poor woman picked up the fabric before me and I just walked up to her and took it out of her hands. My husband and daughter were right behind me as I apparently looked like I was going to tackle her. My hubby ordered me to go and stand by the cashier while got the fabric measured and cut (after explaining to the other woman). Odd thng is I just stood there like an idiot. We went directly from there to the corner store to get a bigger choc bar. I would only eat a really big choc bar. My daughter was young and was not too impressed that mommy wouldnt share. That was the first and last time I did anything like that. I tend to learn by my mistakes. Thank God.

It's possible to avoid most Rapid hypos if knowing how long it lasts for YOU and when the peak usually starts, and of course, taking the right amount. Most hypos i have from Rapid is due to miscalculating my dose or when my physical activity is higher than i expect it to be, especially if my insulin is peaking at that time.

I agree. I will have to wait until I am finished my basal testing with the regular -get very stable and then retest with rapid. Very nice to see someone as young as you taking such good care. I spent a lot of years not doing my best but now that the technology is where it is - its easier.

Update - switched back to Novorapid from regular on friday night. Have had the best bg's this weekend! The regular was taking its sweet time getting going and lasting forever as my response to my new basal rates have been way more effective on the rapid.
