Just switched to Novolog Mix 70/30 Flxpen 3ml (blue) - any tips or warnings?
Hey everyone, I just started using Novolog Mix 70/30 Flxpen 3ml (blue) and I'm a bit nervous about the side effects. I've read about the potential for allergic reactions and low blood sugar, but I'm curious if anyone has any personal experiences or advice to share. How does it compare to other insulin types? Any tips for managing side effects or injection sites? I appreciate any help!

Be super careful with the dosing. I had a few scary low blood sugar episodes until I got the hang of it.
I love how it mixes well under the skin. No weird bumps or anything.
I switched from another insulin and this one works way better for me. Less stomach issues and better control.
Just started using it too! How long did it take for your body to adjust?
Has anyone else had issues with weight gain? I've put on a few pounds since starting.
I had some irritation at the injection site at first, but it went away after a few weeks. Just keep an eye on it and talk to your doctor if it gets worse.
