I'm looking for advice on how much levimir to inject.
I work at a stables giving donkey rides and things so on a working day I work non stop for 11 hours and am very active, so therefore, I need less insulin.
On days off I do absolutely nothing as I'm so tired from work.
I'm not sure how much insulin I need. My morning dose is should be 36u but I've been lowering it when I'm at work to 30u because of hypos.
How long does it take to adjust to this?
On non working days do I inject the normal 36u or does it not make a difference because it's not for one or two days?
I guess what I'm asking is do I reduce my ratio instead of my levimir on working days or inject 30u on non working days and correct it with fast acting? Or do I keep changing the dose of levimir?
I hope that makes sense!
