Also i would be lying if i said i havent been depressed and had self harming thoughts. Its weird cause i never thought id end up being a victim to stuff i preach against. Ive honestly lost so much weight in the past few months from my blood sugars acting up. I have to wear a mask to hide how...

I appreciate your reply. But i study in asia and the medical schools here take a huge amount of fee from you plus my mother is a single parent which adds to my stress cause i cant have her spending all that money on me over and over if i keep failing

Im sorry for the emotional dump. Im just on a rollercoaster of emotions right now. Unfortunately im in medical school and these exams are a huge deal and they cant be retaken. The college administration also wouldnt agree on it. I havent talked to them about it but they have never made an...

They put me on a new insulin that doesnt work well for me but they arent ready to accept that and want me to keep being on it :(

Blood sugars have been above 300 for a month now. I have exams in 2 days and only could study 10% of the syllabus cause i kept falling asleep or couldnt focus due to high blood sugars and the stress from it. It just seems like a blind end. I dont know where to go from here. Disappearing right...

I did manage to get a couple Freestyle libre sensors to last me till september and i cant afford to buy anymore. And unfortunately no i did not take the training. I didnt even know that was a thing until now. Also did you notice there to be slight peaks with every levemir injection you took? Im...

Hi! Ive been diabetic for 10 years (since i was 11. 22 years old now) Id always been on a premixed insulin and had an HbA1c of 6 until covid ruined my control so i was put from one premixed insulin to the other but personally i dont like it but have to deal with it since it goes with my routine...

Thankyou for checking up on me. Unfortunately im still trying to gather the nerve. Levemir once daily at night with 3 other meal time injections didnt work well for me so i switched back to Humalog mix 50 till i figure out the solution. I have a hectic college routine coming up ahead and im...

Thankyou! I really needed to hear this. Sometimes i need a little push. Also I appreciate everyone on this thread that has been kind to me. I do try not to stress but my nerves get in the way because im splitting doses completely on my own and so i have to take responsibility for everything...

I appreciate your reply! That calmed my nerves a little bit but im still a bit nervous cause it seems like it probably would require me to use more brain which might be draining coupled with all the load i already have from my medical school. Im still up contemplating if i should split it cause...

I tried to go down unit by unit and it made my nights pleasant but my blood sugars the next day around lunch time were horrible and my blood sugars kept going up 2 hours after having my lunch so im guessing it runs out too soon for me. :sorry:

Thankyou for replying! Do you take them 12 hours apart? When u first started on the split doses did u notice if both the doses overlapped or caused any hypos? Does levemir still produce peaks after being split or does it have a flat profile? Because i noticed taking levemir all at once at night...

Ok thanks! Just hoping i can find any levemir users on here

Hi, im a medical student myself and in no way i was going to use it as a medical advice! :happy: Ive seen a lot of diabetics split their basal insulin on their own and just wanted some insight or guidance into how to go about doing it and if theres anything i should be wary of. Sometimes the...

Hi! So I was started on 17u levemir at 9pm and 5-6 units of Novorapid with every meal. However the 17u of levemir drop me too much at night. Especially from 12am to 3am and dont give me coverage in the afternoon. It only keeps my sugars stable from 9pm to 3pm, after which i start rising. Also...
