Ryzodeg 70/30 for Diabetes, Type 1 User Reviews

"I had been on Lantus once daily and Novolog before meals. I suddenly started having massive hypos after dinner, which I had never had. A ton of fast-acting sugary drinks and jelly beans started taking a very long time to work. I was at 3.1, 3.0, 2.8, 2.7 and clicking down on my Libre 2 sensor. Then, it would very slowly come up but took 15 minutes to get back to 5.0 mmol/L. Then overnight, I went sky high, waking with a reading of 22 or 23 mmol/L. Had to take 50u Novolog to get glucose down, and after 3 hours I was still sitting at 12 mmol/L. Ryzodeg is much softer, no dramatic hypos and 3 shots a day instead of 5 or 6. I'm still working out how to dose for a 20 g carb snack, but I'm getting there. I'm no longer afraid of Novolog and am so glad I pushed for an insulin regime change. Working very well for me at least."

"Ryzodeg really lowers my blood sugar with my doctor’s prescription of taking it before breakfast and dinner. But after 2 hours of my meal, I experience hypoglycemia, usually in the morning. The side effects in me are feeling bloated, muscle pain in my legs and feet, and I gained weight. But nevertheless, from my blood sugar of always 300 (HbA1c - 11.9), now it's 80-150 results. In the last week of May 2018, I will have my laboratory, and I'm excited to see the result of my HbA1c."
