[QUOTE="smidge, post: 795143, member: 29301"] Hi Sam, I'd definitely split the Levemir dose as a first step in sorting this out. It doesn't last 24 hours at the smallish dose you're on. I used to take 15 units daily split 7 morning and 8 evening. 6am and 6pm. I've been diagnosed similar amount of time to you and also struggle with DP. I found Levemir pretty poor for me - it seems to work better and for a longer duration at larger doses. I have now come off the evening dose ad changed to Insuman basal at 10pm. This is an older insulin with pronounced peak at about 4 to 6hours, so I time its peak to hit at the some time as my DP. This is working better for me. I think the newer Tresiba insulin might be better but it's difficult to get them to prescribe that until you've exhausted all other options. Take care Smidge [/QUOTE]
