[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 934630, member: 30007"] Given that you took such a low level of Levemir last night, please confirm that you have been testing during the day today. I would expect that your BG levels would start to increase from around 12 hours after you took the dose, simply based on the duration at that volume. The reason the nurse was titrating you down 1u at a time was because she was suggesting you only need one dose of insulin, but you've already seen that one dose knocks you low overnight and runs out later afternoon. My experience is similar, which is why I moved to two - that way I could increase the duration and get a decent flat basal response without the significant drop off that comes from too large a dose. Shrinking your dose significantly will lead to that high starting earlier. [/QUOTE]
