    Carb-counting and insulin-splitting woes

    As I suspected. My worry is that I'm already on a dose of Levemir that my specialist thinks is far too high - I'm currently on 30 units and I'm 65kg. At the minute, I'm splitting it 50-50, with 15 units in the morning and 15 units 12 hours later. Might it be worth trying 15 in the am and 20...
