I need to reduce my Tresiba (again!), and it's a pain in the proverbial. And nighttime hypos.

[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2686573, member: 527103"] Like [USER=372717]@EllieM[/USER] I wondered whether the aquajogging (something I have never heard of but like the idea of) is reducing your basal requirements. I find when I exercise enough to raise my heart rate, I need 15 to 20% less basal for the next 24 hours. This is really easy with an insulin pump and not too bad with Lantus. I could never use Tresiba because it last for so long. \ With this in mind, I wonder if it is worth reducing your Tresiba further and increasing your Levemir to about 20% of your total which would make it easier to reduce your overall basal for the days after aquajogging. My thought is that this will give you both the stability of Tresiba but also the flexibility of Levemir. It would not affect your ability to increase your Levemir more on days when your dogs don't fancy a cuddle. It is not something I have ever done and I am only thinking "in theory". But I am sorry I have no suggestion for the question you actually asked which is how to manage the transition phase. [/QUOTE]
