Re: Does Levemir need a longer time to come into full power I'm not an expert but levemir is a background insulin and yes you should see its effect within the first day. I think it's lantus that takes a little longer. Maybe it's just the dose isn't quite right for you yet xxx Sent from the...

I have always injected in public I don't think that any one in the last 16 years has ever even noticed! As long as your not waving needles in the air I don't think anybody is interested. It's normal every day life for me :) Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Looks like your doing the right thing!!! I'm just getting the hang of the carb counting then I think I'm going to start reducing the carbs once I have finished DAFNE. I'm doing 5 Fridays in a row and tomorrow is the 3rd one so I want to make sure I have all the info first. Otherwise I go in...

Hi I'm in a similar situation to you, type 1 for 16 years and put weight on during pregnancy and struggle shifting it. Im about the same weight as you. I have just started DAFNE and finding this a real help as in the past when dieting I always ended up hypo resulting in me then constantly eating...
