Evening All...
Having always been a mixtard 30 user... I was moved onto a Levemir / Novorapid regime nearly a year ago and I have never been able to maintain the same level of control as I could previously...
Having suffered from a horrendous DP issue and having been taking 200+ units of Levemir a day the consultant agreed that a change was in order and I moved onto Insulatard six weeks ago and what a difference! excellent readings and I am only taking 80 units a day which is a big improvement...
Anyway having changed the Levemir I am wondering if there is a better alternative to the Novorapid... its not that it doesn't work but I am having to inject a fair amount to maintain good control.. around 1 unit to 2.5g of carbs (morning) and 4g (afternoon / evening). Having looked back to my Mixtard days I have calculated that my ratio's then were around 1 to 7 which is quite a bit better...
Anybody have experience of changing to something different...? I have been looking at Apidra or Humalog as possible alternatives
