Yes if your blood sugar is high. It's more a symptom of diagnoses though, when the blood is very high. What's your blood sugar levels when you get the cramps?

I admit i haven't even looked into carb counting. As I said i'm pretty good most of the time. I tend to eat the same things so the variation in diet doesn't really demand it. But I will look into that too, thanks.

Interesting. If you were to split it would you half the dose? No diabetic specialist has ever even mentioned this to me. Hypo's for me are more common in the mornings and I never really feel relaxed until i've had lunch. My control is pretty good generally though, but some evenings I find i'm...

Hi Just responding to something Abi mentioned in a post about taking to Levemir doses in a day. Does anyone do this? And if so how do they find it? Sounds interesting - to me the basal unit is the hardest thing to adjust because you don't see the immediate results you do with Novorapid. I'd...

3x10 novarapid 14 Glargine Is there any difference between Glargine and levemir?

I very nearly started a thread about this. I was off work all last week with the first real cold since diagnoses and I was really ill. My blood was in the 20's days before i realised i was getting sick and then stayed that way till now, even though it's abating. i nearly doubled my insulin but...

I went for my HB at the docs last week, and when I called for the result it appears it wasn't labelled properly so the sample was discarded. This is not helpful. Particularly as my arm is now blue from the jab. my last was 8.1. 6% is excellent, keep it up
