Slowly insulin does not last 24 hours;There are other slow insulins (Lantus, Abasaglar, Toujeo or Tresiba) that cover 24 hours;Talk to your endocrine / doctor to get the new insulin.
On the other hand, remember that rapid insulin (novorapid) must be injected 15..20 minutes before eating (never after -exceptions counted-).

Hello

It may have an infection or cold or flu and that affects a lot.

I would consider changing the insulin cartridge or novorapid ball for a new one.

We are being able to get a better insulin, however it was always phenomenal, it has been with the same insulin for 15 or 20 years ..... The problem is the disruption that I had now and I don't know why, since August ... since August ...
After meals we have to apply Novorrapid (sometimes) to correct according to the order of the endocrine.

That "disruption" indicates (and only perhaps) that requires a new insulin.

New insulin do you mean that your body could get used to or to a new insulin bowl?

His body has "accustomed": there are a few hours of the day that is missing insulin.

@Salvador_tequera.I don't have an opinion about what happens with your mother.
What I wanted to comment, is regarding corrections, I don't know, they are more than 100% and very often.I wait for at least two hours to make corrections, since insulin has a three -hour action time.In less than three hours you put 13 insulin units.

Correct, because it did not go down .... It has been impossible.Maybe it is a new adjustment of all insulins

The first thing would look at the insulin is not spoiled, both quickly and slowly.Try to change the bolis.Sometimes it spoils and loses effect.

Well, we will get from the endocrine .... They tell us that it is all very rare ... conclusions, they are going to do a special blood analysis to look at a hormone ... It could be a pancreatic tumor, which the endocrineDiscarded because he would have other symptoms, but he wants to rule it out.The blood test they are going to do is to value: peptide C, insulin, pro insulin and cortisol .... the truth is that I know what all this is ...

I have asked him if his pancreas can be producing insulin and says no, impossible
I have also asked him if the case can go to diabetes 1 go to diabetes 2 ... and says: no, impossible ... It is the first time that it happens to me a case like this .... 😮😮😮😮been your answer .... for example, to breakfast 8 portions, (7 portions of bread and a ration of milk) and not a rapid insulin beakeThe sugar to be lowered alone .... my God, how can this be ???What can be happening?Can it be a pancreatic tumor ???

Wait for professionals but while trying to make a daily routine.
Always eat the same amount of hydrates at the same time and walk an hour.
A fixed guideline will help your endocrine to get the diagnosis.

Basal insulin also lowers sugar, if the proper measure is not pricking.

I have also gone through that same situation and my wife had to act quickly, it is best to get into the end of the endocrine that will regulate insulins and it does not have to happen again the important thing is to be well controlled

@Salvador_tequera

Hello while the results of the analytics arrive, in any case I would advise your mother who does not have breakfast 8 portions in the morning (7 of bread and one of milk).It surely has a difficult breakfast routine.

But it seems to me a barbarity

I take only 4 rations of breakfast and walk to work and do sports every day.Then as another 4 (sometimes 5) rations and light ceno.

I hope it improves and that insulin works again!

A very strong greeting

It looks like a hormonal theme.It can be because of menopause, there are women that happen between 55 and 58 years.
Reduce hydrates and fixed patterns at times.

I breakfast 3 rations and it is already a lot for the diet that gave me 1700cal

If at two hours of eating this high is that it needs faster.You are putting fast and when I correct that I think is not right.
You will have to change guidelines.For the same hydrates, put more insulin.
According to my experience I don't think it's anything else.Neither hormones, nor that your body has become accustomed insulin does not get used to, nor bolis failure.You have to adjust the doses.
