Der iwonderthing, No, the novolog didn't hurt your body, unless it gave you low blood sugars. Having low blood sugars (less than 70) frequently or having very low blood sugars (40 or below) could cause some brain cells to die. This evidence is still a little bit controversial. But, unless you had these incidents, I think you were very safe.
