Insulin nightmare!!!!

So does anyone on here know how to figure out what lantus I need based on my pump settings? There’s a manufacturer issue with novo rapid vials apparently so I’m gonna have to do injections again and I have no idea what I’m supposed to put in for the long acting insulin or if my ratios will stay the same??? Also what am I meant to do if it’s just novo rapid that’s got issues like that then means no insulin. I’ve contacted my team to get no response and I’m starting to spike so advice pls.

There is no way of knowing this. Different insulin affect differently. It should go back to whatever you were talking prior.

@Layla that was 8 years ago I have no clue sadly just the pens and no idea how to dose it

Live you're going to have to try real hard to remember the whereabouts

Because there's no way of knowing.... this is why modern day devices suck when we come too reliant. No I'm not bashing you I just hate situations like this....😭

You can start with a smaller dose and up it if need be

Or go to a hospital where they can aquire info

Are you on a closed loop system? Your pump should have settings that tell you your total daily dose, but you've had to take out any insulin that you've bolused for food and also due to daily differences youd have take an average total over a week I'd say. If it makes you feel better, I recently had an issue with Humalog and couldn't get insulin at all and have had to draw from pen refills into empty pump cartridges and the manufacturer seems to have rectified their issue now, bit otherwise they were happy to give me Apidra as a substitute as I can't have Novorapid due to gluten intolerance, so you could always ask to be swapped to another insulin?
