To: alldiabeticinternational-owner

Im really having trouble with my numbers bouncing around, Ive heard

several people tell me that 70/30 (novolog) is not the best insulin

for a type one to be on, including my CDE. Is there any benefit to

that type of insulin, all I hear are negatives about it. im getting

really cranky about this all. Im going to the doctor next week with a

notecard from each day listing when i took my insulin, what I ate

when I exercised etc and what my sugars were. They always follow the

same pattern, my fasting is great, then anything I eat for breakfast

(which is usually only 20 carbs not the req' 45) spikes my sugars to

150-170 and I have to take insulin to get it down, then in the

afternoon Im bottoming out the other way, i know this is a hard

disease to control but Im really wearing out about this. Any

thoughts on the novo 70/30
