[QUOTE="kellyb8511, post: 2379506, member: 94852"] hi thanks for your response :-) I am currently on levimir and nova rapid Levimir I have 40 units a day and nova rapid is different with each meal but generally about 5-6 units. I have approx 2 hypos a week. My doctor said it was because my body is used to being so high that it is having hypos when I’m not even low! Also I’m hungry when I’m at the target range which again my doctor said it’s because my body is craving sugar as it is so used to working off sugar that now it is at a recommended level it struggles. He said to compare my body to a drug addict and now I have taken away the sugar (the drug) it’s fighting to get it back. I do also think my levels do swing quite heavily I’m just at a loss with myself and it doesn’t help that I am so unorganised when it comes to looking after myself so I regularly forget to have my nova rapid so I end up playing catch up to get my levels down!!! If there is ever a trial for a fake pancreas I’m in! Xx [/QUOTE]
