Due to the need of ever increasing amounts of Levimir (eventually as much as 2 x 36units) I recently changed to Treshiba Degludec (1 x 30units).
The Treshiba was successful to start with, however it soon appeared that for me it only lasts approx 16 or so hours before my levels spiked - it's clear I need to counter act this by injecting more Novorapid at mealtimes which is not ideal.
Other posts suggest changing injection time, however it doesn't make a difference - it just means the spikes occurs at different times.
Whilst I appreciate Levimir is very flat, its apparent that due to needing increasing amounts my body was not responding to it effectively so I'd rather not go back if possible.
I have been Type 1 for almost 30years and retain a very tight control, however I would be grateful for any help/suggestions to my issue...
