What are you using now then? I was going to ask about different insulins but she wasnt letting me ask many questions. :/ Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Do I literally split the 28 or dp I carry on with that at night and take a smaller amount during the day? Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Its when I wake up and in the evening the are rising so I think its definitely down to the levimir now. Im fine during the day, but I think that's because of regular meals and being active along with the novo rapid Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

My HCP was wrong, last 2 days I have tested 2 hours after dinner and then 60/90 mins later and my blood sugars rise again, tonight it was 8.2, now a hour later it's 9.9, so what would any of you recommend I take of levemir in the morning? Im currently taking around 28/30 units at night, still...

Its less than 12 hours when im trying to get it right. (When I wake up) the rest of the day is fine, even the evening. So im testing twice in the night to see if my sugars go up or down. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I have high morning readings sometimes and I heard taking it a hour or 2 earlier can help? My sugars are also good due to meal times and the novo does its job throughout the day. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

My readings throughout the day are always good, right up until the evening as I'm active so my 3/4 novorapid jabs are enough to keep my sugars stable. If anything I need hardly any novorapid during the day as im burning off the carbs at work. My healthcare professional said levemir is only...

I go to bed around 10/11pm and wake up between 5.30/8am depending on where I'm working, at the moment I take my injection about 10, I'm having different morning readings so I'm still testing and trying to adjust, Do most people inject just before bed? Or take it earlier?

I was just wandering what most of you eat on a day to day basis, how many carbs at meal times and any ideas to replace carbs with something else that's tasty.

I have never been told about split dosing, but I think I may need it. I take my insulin around 10pm, just wandered what other people take evening and night if you split dose. At the moment I'm taking 24 units in the evening,

I have only just heard of these and I have seen a few prices and they don't look cheap. But I would like to know what the actual costs are from people that use them? Not with the pump either, just the monitoring system and sensors etc?

Was just reading your post again, you say you are not having hypo's so you know it's not your liver releasing glucose, so would taking more long acting insulin help you? As yours seems to just increase over night? Rather than at one given point like mine has seemed to be doing recently.

Ok thanks that's really helpful! I will be phoning the diabetic nurse on Tuesday and will make a note of everything you just said. If I get any good results I will repost here. Thanks again and good luck with trying to get your readings sorted too!

I am 30 now, but I was diagnosed when I was 16, (during my GCSE'S) I was in a bad way when I was diagnosed, very sore feet, very dry mouth, always tired, and drinking 12 litres or more of drink a day. I was then put on Humalog mix 25 insulin, (twice a day injections) What have you been put on...

Hey everyone, I have been testing different ways to get it right but still no luck. I tried 40 units the other night and I was having a hypo before 2 am, so I know the levemir works, but last night my reading was 7.3 before bed. So I took 30 units of levemir, woke up at 3 am and it was 6.4, then...

I took 22 units last night and this morning my reading was 8.9! So hopefully I'm heading in the right direction, it was the same insulin cartridge as the night before ( but I took 26 units that night) So its been 4 hours since I have eaten and it's currently 6.6 and I I have taken 22 units...

Yeah I may try that tomorrow if all else fails because I just have no idea what's happening. My sugar was 11.9 after dinner. Because I'm taking less levemir I need more novorapid with my meals. So I'm working backwards on this as obviously the first dosage to get right is the long acting...

I didn't take a midnight reading as I was shattered last night, but I will do so tonight and see how that goes. Again, I appreciate the help!

I'm saving all my levemir intake and sugar readings on a app on my phone so will have that to hand when I eventually see the diabetic team at the hospital rather than my doctor. I have taken 22 this evening, if that still doesn't improve then something is seriously wrong here. My breakfast and...
