Hi all- Finally had my sugar level at a normal level this morning although had a hypo during the night and had to get up and have a glass of juice to sort it out (didn't finish dinner). Any way, my sugar level was 7.8 at 8am this morning and have taken 10 units of levemir last night at 8pm and 10 units again this morning at 8am
Sugar Levels So Far:
8:00 -7.8
9:30 - 9.4
10:30 - 10.4
(will update again later)
Its pretty clear so far that the levemir is not doing enough to keep my levels stable and this is with a much increased split dose (i was only taking 15 units once a day before which explains a bit of the problem)
@Magic172 - I am going to start back at the gym again in the next month so hopefully that will help a little
@adrian12 - I was using the same spot for a while but in the last few days have been using my legs as i have been wearing shorts and that still did not make much of a difference
@donnellysdogs - I test as soon as I wake up and have set an alarm recently during the night to test when i have eaten late and taken novorapid
@therower - thanks for your kind words - I really am taking control of this now I am more determined than ever to get on top of it
@davej1950 - Is this how i figure out how many units i need per 10 grams of carbs?
@RAPS_od - I have already stopped the sugar in my tea and coffee - Got sucralose yesterday and it is a really good substitute
Will update the basal test a bit later on today and hopefully someone can help me adjust the levemir dose.
