I woke up at 3:30 with the realization that I had missed my supper basal dose of insulin. I got online, and Toujeo says that if you miss a dose, do not try to make it up.
If you have missed a dose of Toujeo or if you have not injected enough insulin, your blood sugar level may become too high (hyperglycaemia):
• Do not inject a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose.
• Check your blood sugar and then inject your next dose at the usual time.
They worry more about stacking doses, which may result in low BG than they worry about having high BG.
The graph for Toujeo absorption looks like this.
I checked my BG and it was 7.5. I went back to bed. When I woke up I checked, and BG was 7.6. That is maybe a little high, but not abnormal.
I wanted oatmeal for breakfast. I took 2 ui of NovoRapid, 15 minutes before eating breakfast.
I ate a Nartjie, and oatmeal with blueberries. Total carbs was 49g. In retrospect I should have had .8ui for the slightly high BG and 3.2ui for the carbs, for a total of 4 ui. I need to plan my meals better, so there is going to be an exact amount of carbs.
I ate lunch at a fish place. I had grilled fish, and a salad. 2 hour after lunch my BG was 6.0.
On line there are many people that say NovoRapid is not rapid. It can take hours until it starts to affect the sugar in the blood. Some people suggest giving the NovoRapid bolus up to an hour before the meal.
I need to stick to my oatmeal, and try different strengths and times for the bolus shots.
