Changeover of insulins

[Steve]

I am due to be changing my insulin from novorapid to humalog from tomorrow just wondering if anyone else has done this and if they have had any problems when they did

sorry steve i still use novorapid, but im sure there will be others on here who have changed 🙂

how come you have changed from novorapid??

This page has graphs of insulin profiles, including Novorapid and Humalog - basically, Novorapid peaks slightly earlier and has a broader peak than Humalog. http://www.diabetes-support.org.uk/joomla/insulin/iprof But it's a bit vague - lack of vertical scale, for example, although not sure how to measure "insulin action"
Guess the best advice is to ask the medical professional who is advising you, but if in doubt, then test blood glucose befroe eating and 2 hours later, recording food intake as well.

I am changing insulin because sometimes i can't remember if i have taken my insulin or not and this is a worry. There is a pen called the humapen memoir which i have heard about and this has a memory function built in that records the date and time of your last 16 injections so there is no chance of me injecting twice instead of just once so i am going to start this Wednesday and see how i get on.
