After a messy month of glucose readings, my doctor approved using Novorapid. Hopefully this helps with my meal induced spikes due to CF.

I’m also glad he’s planning on starting me on a pump to help with my day to day activities after determining the bolus needed.

Things are working out for the better El7mdellah ♥️♥️

Specifically NovoLog/NovoRapid, in this case.

I've been having reactions to novorapid lately so my endocrinologist gave me some humalog to try.

1. It's purple which is very exciting

2. I got a new pen and it's all pretty and blue and stuff.

Am I the only one who gets excited about shiny new stabby things?

I think it's more because they've been so busy, but a much more reasonable situation here today (and most of yesterday): they've just left my insulin out where I can use it as required, with some needles.

They have been keeping it all locked in this drawer with some other meds that are specifically mine. (The liquid versions of several things now.) Then handing it to me with a new needle already on and the dose already dialed in.

Having free access means not having to hit the call button and then often wait a while before I can eat, since I am on the insulin schedule which doesn't follow hospital SOP now. With as busy as things have been staying around here, that's taken almost an hour before for nursing staff to make sure they had needles and just generally get it together so that I could use the Novorapid and eat.

It's not full self-management with their just leaving it out for now, and I have no idea how long that might last. But, it's an improvement for the however long it does last.
