Apologies as I’m jumping on this feed, however as a type 1 diabetic I have just recently changed my background from levimir to Humilin 1. Reduced dose as per my consultant’s instructions … but I’m having more hypos than ever? I work on the ratio of 2 /10 with nova rapid… my thoughts are that this new background is pretty bloody quick and accurate compared to the old? Hit me with any feedback gang x
