As I’m new in Type 1 I would like to ask you about one unit of Novorapid how much will drop approximately my BG level? |

My DAFNE course workshop says 1 unit will drop BG by 2 to 3 units, but more may be required if BG over 11. |

Hi, I take 1 unit to bring down 3mmol. It always seems to take longer to come down from a high reading than it does to go up after having a hypo but if taking correction at mealtime you should be nearer or in target by next mealtime. |

"Everyone is different and so are times of day" -that's the key. Don't do this on your own! Talk to your diabetic nurse and monitor, adjust very gradually. |
