[QUOTE="CherylG, post: 146124, member: 27957"] Hi Witan, thanks for the reply. I am currently on a regime of levemir and novorapid. Before this started I was taking 74 units of levemir (37 am & pm) and using novorapid at meal times taking anything between 3-10 units with meals. My diet isnt fantastic due to having a bowel condition (which seems to be behaving at the moment just have deranged blood sugars!!) but I do walk every where and I am fairly active and carry some extra weight (which I realise I should do something about... am working on this one slowley but surely!) My HBA1C was regularly around 8 but has been creeping up lately :( the last one taken last week came back at 10.6! The diabetic nurses have changed my regime and I am now taking 120 units of levemir (in 2x 60 unit doses) which seems like a massive amount of insulin and my need for novorapid has increased and some days I have been using as much as 70 units to try and get some control. When i discussed this with my GP she said wow by rights with that amount of insulin you should be hypo... I was chatting to the pharmacist when getting yet another repeat prescription, about the amount of insulin I have increased and although my BM's are showing a little bit of improvment (only a little bit!) but not much, He wondered if I maybe resisting the insulin and my body maybe a bit too used to the regime I was on. I seem to be ok taking insulin as long as I dont eat or drink anything other then water, but as you can imagine there is a massive flaw in this plan :( [/QUOTE]
