My son is on NovoLog 70/30, two shots per day, 10 units in the morning and five to seven units in the evening. Sometimes I switch from the 70/30 to straight NovoLog at dinner if I am not sure how many grams of carbohydrates he will eat. The NovoLog is usually given halfway through dinner. How does this affect his nighttime blood sugars? He is still honeymooning. Do I need to be concerned about giving him a long acting insulin at night or will the morning 70/30 dose cover 24 hours?
