I have never had that problem with Novolog- but I just take it at meals- or as a correction dose!
And I get the pens! If the novolog is bad- I would contact the company, or your RX- they might replace it!
its the carbs that is the hardest! I can read a lable, but when I make something - I have no idea!
It has just made me not want to eat!
i have been on the pill- at first told I was a Type 2- and about 3 inslins- just 2 now!
They think mine was close to 1000- it could not even be read at the hospital and hour after I first found out- and had had a shot to reduce it fast! The hospital called someone in for a special bllod test- it was almost 2 hours after the shot- it was 790!!
They put me in a room up by the nurses desk- I told my BF the next day- boy these nurses are GREAT- i BUZZ- 3 ARE RIGHT HERE! Later he told me there were watching me for a COMA!! he said he walked out of the room and cried!!!
1 thing for sure though- it cured me a NEEDLE phobia-lol!! |
I know it get
so frustrating at times with this condition. It's such a tight rope to always balance on trying to keep that reading in that 80-120 range. It could be what your eating....There is a great book called, "The New Glucose Revolution" that has numbered the foods according to how they effect blood sugars. Sometimes my husband and son have to do trial and error to find the foods that they just can't eat. My son can't eat Little Ceases pizza it
always spikes him. I don't know why but the other brands don't.
He did go through the stage where he was always hungry so his doctor told him if he felt he needed to cheat to eat lean meat ( no coating on it) because it has very little effect on blood sugars. So we always had boneless skinless chicken breast on hand for those occasions.
