Q: How much does novorapid insulin reduce blood sugar by?
Hi im a 14 year old diabetic girl and i was just wondering…
How much does 1 unit of novorapid make blood sugar go down by?
For example if my blood sugar was 20mmol and i injected 1 unit of novorapid how much would it go down by?
Thanks! *^-^*
A: every body has a different scale. The reaction of insulin and your blood sugars varies slightly depending on your body. For me one unit corrects my insulin levels by about 40 -50 points. But I sometimes have days where I am more or less resistant to the insulin. You have to figure out your own scale by trial and error.
Q: Can Novorapid insulin injections cause stomach muscles to be painful?
not necesarilly just novorapid,levemir too.can they? novorapid and levemir needle pens are for type 1 diabetes users like me. I’ve recently started using them and not only has my stomach muscles(the areas whee i have injected before) stiffen they’ve also become quite painful,especially when i bend over or press my stomach.
have any of you experience the same thing?Help please i dont know what 2 do
A: i was on novorapid injections for a year until about a year and a half ago when i went on the insulin pump, which also uses novorapid, and i have never had any problems with saw muscles, unless i have either done it too close to my belly button, ribs or hips, or if i have kept doing it in the same place and start getting lumps.
hope I’ve helped in some way.
Q: any other known side effects of novorapid or levemir?
last wk i was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, im on novorapid and levemir but getting headaches daily. its not down 2 my blood sugar being 2 low, so could it b side effects of the insulin im on? headaches isnt listed as a side effect so does any1 else find this?
A: I’ve never heard of this side effect with insulin, ask your doc about it.
Q: what should I do ?I mistakenly injected 30 unit of novorapid insulin instead of glargine?
it is urgent .no doctor avaiable.
Iget normally 5 unit of novorapid before meal and 30 unit of glargine for 24 hours.
A: i think you are not in trouble because you are still alive you still manage to ask yahoo answers .but wait until you collapsed because of severe hypoglycemia. next time careful ,and do not forget to consult your endocrinologist.
Q: How long can i keep the novorapid flexpen out of the fridge?
A: I use Novalog Flexpen. I use one until gone or one month, usually it’s empty in about seven days. Then replace it with another. You should use rapid Novalog for up to one month outside of cold storage. I carry mine around in my briefcase or attached to my belt. I don’t care about other people’s opinion when they see me shot up. I’m the one with diabetes. They can learn to live with me. If you don’t use the flexpen – unopened and unused – you can kept them in a fridge for up to one year. I tried it once, it lasted about six to seven months then it became “stale” – it did not work as effective as fresh. So consider that when you keep it for longer periods and also check you bg frequently when you do use “old” stuff.

Q: If I took a high dose of lorazepam and high dose of novorapid could I die?
Novorapid is a short acting insulin
A: Yes, a high dose of lorazepam can kill you. I don’t know anything about novorapid.
Lorazepam is serious medication. Don’t abuse it. If you want to get high, use a less dangerous drug, like pot.

Q: Does Anyone Take Novorapid & Levemir?
Hey is Anyone Here On Levemir and Novorapid. I am Interested To Know How Much You Take at Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Before Bed? I Take
BREAKFAST – 32 (Levemir) & 12 (Novorapid)
LUNCH – 14 (Novorapid)
DINNER – 20 (Novorapid)
BEFORE BED – 38 (Levemir)
I Take My Levemir in Half Because My Body Needs So Much and Taking 70 Units at a Time Really Damages My Injection Sites and Makes It Really Sore.
A: My daughter is on Levemir and Novolog. It depends on how much carbs she eats on how much Novolog she gets (1:20 ratio) for each meal. She takes 6 units of Levemir just before bed.
Q: What should I do if forget my once 24 hours lantus insulin?
I use one time lantus insulin before bed sometimes I forget to inject and go to bed .I dont know what to do in the morning .sometimes I keep myself with novorapid till bed time and then inject lantus .what is your answer? thanks
A: i’ve done it before and yeah i just made sure i was taking a bit more bolus(short acting) than usual, kept an eye on my sugars and if i needed to top up i would….but everyone is different and its not advisable for this to happen regularly.
you could as the other answerer suggested move it to a bit earlier and have those few hours to remember. or else set a reminder.
i used to take it any time between 7-11 when i didnt care so much but i found when i started taking it at the same time(or within the half hour) every night my sugars were much much better.
good luck!!!
Q: Do i register to get an insulin pump?
Im 15 and have had diabetes for 3 year now. Im on insulin injections(Novorapid and Lantus) but i dont do my insulin regularly has i dont like injections constantly. Ive been reding up about pumps and they sound like the perfect thing for me. I should also add that i was in ICU with ketoacidosis at christmas.
I just wanted to know what the criteria is to get an insulin pump and do you have to pay for them in the UK and how it works etc please and thank you!
A: You don’t usually have to pay for an insulin pump but there is a long waiting list. There is a course that the doctor can send you on that helps you to regulate your lifestyle, food intake and insulin levels. My friend’s son went on this course, while waiting for an insulin pump and he is now living a normal life (with insulin). Before this he was often in hospital. So it is good to speak with your clinic and find out your options.
Q: I have Type 1 diabetes, can Glucophage be taken with or in place of Novo Rapid?
I have type 1 diabetes for 25yrs I take 24u of Lantus once a day and Novo rapid to suit carb intake approx 20u a day, recently a diabetic doctor in Middle East advised me to stop taking the Novorapid and start with one 500mg Glucophage at lunchtime, this to me seems so Alien and I am not sure if I should follow his advice, any ideas?
A: Type 1 Diabetes is pretty rare outside of the US, Canada, and Northern Europe. There is a chance your doctor from the Middle East has never treated a patient with type 1.
Do not follow his advice if you value your health.
Q: When should I eat meal?When my BS is high before meal and I take some more insulin for correction?
When my blood sugar is normal I eat my meal about 15 minutes after injection of Novorapid insulin.But if my BS is high before meal I get some more insulin for correction but when I should eat my meal .15 minutes later or I should wait more? thanks for yr kind answers.
A DIABETIC
A: True, you should ask your doctor, but some doctors won’t recommend anything that a study hasn’t confirmed, so here’s my two cents …
I’ve been Type 1 for 30 years (since age 11), and have avoided any major complications (so far, knock on wood). I firmly believe that when your sugar is already high, it’s best to wait and let it come down before eating more carb’s. The way I figure it, every minute your sugar is high, it’s doing cumulative damage to your body (and the higher it is, the worse effect it has), so best to wait.
How long you wait would depend on how high it is, how much insulin you’ve taken, and what you do while you wait. (You can speed up the absorption quite a bit by taking the shot in your leg and walking around.) Anyhow, you can figure it out by taking more tests every 15 min’s or so, then be ready to eat the regular carb’s of your breakfast when it gets down close to normal levels. Of course, you have to keep a close eye on your sugar and not wait too long to eat (and of course, as always, have handy more concentrated sweets than you could ever need, just in case).
Since not being able to eat can be very frustrating when you’re hungry at breakfast time, while you wait you might consider eating something that doesn’t have hardly any carbs — like eggs or, say, salad!
Q: Lantus at night or in the morning?
I am new with Lantus, but my doctor told me to start taking the Lantus at night. I slowly raised it to 20 units and now I am having lows at around 6:00 or 7:00. The rest of the day my sugar levels seem to be high. Will it make a difference if I take Lantus in the morning, or do I have to raise my usual Novorapid dose before meals?
A: The lows could be caused by too much short acting insulin at your dinner, or bedtime snack. I assume you mean you are getting low at 6 or 7 AM, so just lower your novorapid dose at dinner or snack, take the 20 lantus, and see how it goes. If your sugars are still high at meals, then increase your novorapid. Make one change at a time though, so that you can know what is working and what isnt.
