[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 858528, member: 30007"] Having seen a lot of GNG going on over the past couple of weeks and having enough of giving myself a shedload of injections every day (typically 12-15 Rapid Acting jabs), I took the decision today to go with option 3 and increased my basal insulin by 30% to counter the constant upwards pressure I've been seeing on my BG levels. I'm keeping a close eye on my bg levels, but without a pump, frankly, this seems like the best option as it reduces my need to interact with my diabetes all the time. The first 6 hours seem to have been effective in that I've seen spikes that are only related to food ingestion and the constant desire of my body to push my BG up seems to have gone away. I therefore feel much more comfortable this way. Given that I am comfortable with the way that Levemir works, what will be more interesting is seeing what the duration of the increased amount is and how I need to vary my overnight dose. I'll keep an eye on it and report back, regardless as to whether there are any interesting findings... [/QUOTE]
