    My Ongoing Basal Testing

    @SallyEzra thanks for your reply. I need to do a basal test, and find out properly. For this week i have adjusted Levemir to 14u daily and tweaked my ratios to see how it works out. Weekdays are so much easier for me to observe then weekends.

    @Engineer88 thanks for advice. not tried anything else, Novo rapid seems to work for me, been using it for a long time. Out of interest what were your issues with Novorapid?

    @kev-w good point on the type of cereal i am eating. I think i will try the porridge daily instead of the bran flakes. also i am finding a low carb evening meal really helps with overnight blood sugars.
