Well, not totally happy, my A1c was 6.3 and my BP was 132/80

But ... almost TWO YEARS out from my initiation by DKA, I finally got rapid. Big relief. Not like I am gonna carb up or something, but I have been going > 140, on a 20 carb gram meal, pretty regularly! More control is all I am after ... keep your fingers crossed for me!

You will do fine with Novorapid. Anyone who can do >140 on a 20 gram meal is a smart person. Sometimes I don't do that well myself.

I would gladly trade BP with you though. I saw my Dr. this morning and my BP was 140/88, so I left the office with yet another Rx for BP.

GAH. I am on the lowest dose of ramipril ...

I am pretty cautious, so I think it will work out!

FINALLY! You'll do fine.

Way to go, you will do just fine on rapid! If you need help you can always ask us, we probably have a couple of hundred members who use rapid.

Isn't 120/80 a normal reading? 140/88 doesn't seem to be that high?

breeze, You're right about 140/88 not being 'that bad'. Unfortunately that number reflects the influence of 4 different BP meds......and that reading was done in the Dr. office. My readings at home run more like 165/88 - so not good.

I take Novolog and love it (as much as anyone can love medicine

Ok, I understand! I hate to see someone having trouble with their health and struggling with something that is usually controlled by a simple pill. I want to say stay positive, but I don't like people to tell me that when I am doing the best that I can and still struggling.
