Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Excessive Sleepiness While On Novolog?
I recently started Novolog mealtime insulin, 5 units. It makes me extremely sleepy. I also have pain near my kidneys. Is any of this normal or should I seek help? I have an appointment with my endocrinologist on the 4th. Should I wait or go sooner?
As both are not normal you should seek second opinion for adjustment of insulin dose. If required re adjust it with doctors advice. If your problem increasing then you can go earlier to the doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ashok Kumar Dash,
Ophthalmologist
