Hi, type II diabetic here.  Glucose numbers high today (+200).  Is it okay to take an extra dose of Humulin 70/30 KWIKPEN mix to knock it down?  I feel fine with no indications that usually accompany high readings and this is a recent anomaly connected with my current battle with insomnia.  I get up when I cant sleep and usually get something to eat.  I was still awake this mornng around 4AM and had something to eat.
Hello, It is not advisable to take an additional dose of Insulin just to reduce sudden occasional surge of blood glucose. Because post the injection, there is a possibility of developing fairly severe hypoglycemia. Best method is avoided extra eating episodes. For insomnia, if it is persistent then there are specific sleep inducing medications which can be taken occasionally. To control blood glucose apart from taking Insulin, strict dietary control and regular exercise of over 1 hour a day is a must.  If there is good amount of physical exercise, then one may get good sleep too. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
