So I did some more experimenting to verify it.
Rapid acting insulins do nothing for me. Humalog and Novorapid(called Novolog in the US) don’t do much, in fact, in some cases, I will correct, after eating nothign all day, and test again, and I am a point or two higher.
I practically bathe in it. I am very liberal with my corrections and boluses, and I never get ideal numbers(When using rapids).
Now, if I use a normal acting insulin, like Humulin R, I drop, and drop fast, even when my bolus is very conservative.
In fact one of my worst hypos happened after taking 3 units of Humulin R, and within ten minutes. I ate around 70 grams of carbs, just to make sure I covered the insulin, and not the other way around.
This is odd, because Humulin R, et al, are supposed to be slower acting.
I don’t get it. :dontknow:
