Hi Folks,
So it seems that I am being moved from Lantus to Levemir.
DSN has said that I basically switch and do half my normal Lantus dose tonight and then tomorrow morning do the other half an continue from there.
Now I understand that this should, in theory, mean that my NovoRapid ratios will drop from their current value of 1.25u:10g, 1.5u:10g and 2u:10g for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Essentially I guess I will be doing a lot more testing and going back to some of the things I had to do when I first got diagnosed to figure out where everything sits again.
I was wondering if anyone out there has made this same switch and what kind of advice could you offer.
What, if anything, should I be aware of or watch out for that the HCPs haven't warned me about?
Cheers
Andy
