[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 904330, member: 30007"] Been a while since I posted on this topic, but I feel it needs an update. Over the past month or so, I've been seeing some interesting goings on with overnight glucose levels in relation to my dosing. After going to the gym, I've found I've had to take my low overnight dose down even lower to manage bg levels as I've been seeing to large a drop and waking up to hypos. This resulted in a post gym drop to 5iu. There is an unfortunate consequence of this change, which is that at my size, the Levemir simply runs out at about 7am. It simply isn't possible to get it to last long enough, so I end up with a couple of hours of fast acting "topping up". I could apply a larger dose of daytime Levemir at this point, but I am well aware that this will put me at undue risk of basal hypos during the day. As a result, I have now requested a pump of my DSN as this is starting to get silly! [/QUOTE]
