Just wondering if anyone can help.
I recently started on Insulin (Insulatard) and the nurse at the hospital said to only use for 4 weeks. The insturctions that came with the insulin said 6 weeks. I asked the Dr which I should follow and he suggested the instructions that came with it.
However this last week (which is now 5 weeks into my cartridge and nearly finished) my bs have risen to between 6.5 and 7 from 5 to 6.
I have a cold at the moment and am unsure if the higher bs are from that or if I really should only use the insulin cartridge for 4 weeks.
