[QUOTE="urbanracer, post: 2096854, member: 140811"] I take Levemir and when using the Freestyle Libre I was able to determine clearly that it doesn't last in the body for 24hrs. At best I was getting 18hrs out of it, but often even less. So I'd see my glucose levels creeping up from around 15:00hrs most days. As a result I split my doses and take 10u, 12hrs apart, and as far as I can tell, most folks here also split the dose and it seems to be more effective. With more basal in your system you may need to reduce your evening bolus BUT PLEASE CONSULT with your diabetes team if not fully comfortable with making the change yourself. [/QUOTE]
