Switching to Novolog Mix 70/30 Sus Vl10ml(blue): Pros, Cons, and Personal Experiences
I've been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes for a few years now, and my doctor recently recommended switching my insulin to Novolog Mix 70/30. I'm a bit nervous about the change, especially since I've heard about some potential side effects. Has anyone else made the switch? What has your experience been like? I'm particularly curious about the effectiveness of the mix in managing blood sugar levels both after eating and between meals, but also any common side effects beyond those listed. How easy was it for you to get adjusted? Any tips for newbies? I would appreciate all the feedback I can get.

I've been on Novolog Mix 70/30 for about a year now, and it's been a game-changer for me. My blood sugar levels are much more stable, and I haven't had any major side effects. Just be careful with injection sites and rotate them to avoid irritation.
My doctor just prescribed it, and she said it's better for people who need a mix of fast and slow-acting insulin. I'm nervous but following the prescription. I'll try to report back here with my progress.
I gave up on this stuff. It made me really weak and dizzy all the time. I felt like I was constantly low on blood sugar. I guess everyone is different.
I had a really bad reaction to it. Got hives and swelling around the injection site. Had to switch back to my old insulin. Everyone is different, so be cautious!
I had a little bit of irritation around the injection site at first, but it cleared up after a few weeks. Stick with it if you can. It's worth it for the better control.
