Novolog and Lantus insulin pens
I take Novolog and Lantus insulin in the pen forms. I just started taking them like this about 6 weeks ago. I really like them!!! I take the Novolog 5 units in the morning and 5 units in the evenings, with meals. I also use a sliding scale with it. The Lantus I take just before bedtime. Right now, I'm at 25 units, from 45 units 3 weeks ago!!! I've found that when I take both just before bed, my morning fasting blood sugars are really low...like below 80. I've had it drop as low as 53. It was soo scary!! This morning, it was 89, which I was satisfied with. I was wondering if anyone else has had this situation happen to them. Also, what did you do to keep it from going below 80?
Yes, you can take Novolog and Lantus in separate injections, but they may not be mixed in the same injection or at the same injection site.
Generally Novolog is only prescribed if you follow a strict physician-approved routine.
If you have a meter and strictly monitor results of various combinations under vary circumstances use of both medications should cause no problems.
Be careful using the Novolog because you can easily drop your blood sugar to very low levels.
