I am on Basaglar and take 52 iu's daily usually with evening meal.
I am on Humalog 25 Mix and reading that it may cause heart failure ? Is this true ? What are the symptoms to look for ? Cause whenever an ECG is done so far I've been told it is 'clear'. Like, is there a heart attack waiting to happen ? On ECG what is the cause of an alarm ? Is it the excess plaque ? I'm told by my doc that certain amount of plaque should be there.

Can anyone suggest how i could help avoid lows in the morning i have not been on insulin but a little over a week since hospital stay and I'm taking strong steroids and have to adjust my medication to my numbers which is very confusing since i have never been on insulin before. Is there a snack or anything to eat before bed to help that or set a clock to check during 2 or 3 in the morning
Any help appreciated I'm very concerned about this and feeling overwhelmed
Thank you
