levemir

Hi, I’ve had Type 1 Diabetes for 3 weeks now and since then I’ve been taking Novorapid before my meals and Levemir once a day before bed. Do you have to take the Levamir at the same time everyday? The diabetes nurse told me to take it whenever I went to bed but I was looking online and...

Hi all, haven't posted in a very long time but I've recently (thanks to the Freestyle Libre) got back in to taking a very active interest in managing my diabetes again (yay me!) Anyhow, I was reading the book "Think like a pancreas", and in the bit about basal insulins I noticed it said for...

Hi, I've been T1 for 26 years and have generally always been pretty well controlled (or aware of why if ever control hasn't been so good) I've been taking a split dose of levemir for several years and been on it for around 15 years. Recently I've noticed quite a lot of inexplicable highs in the...

Hi guys! Having a bit of an issue with injecting Levemir into my thighs. The long and short of it is that every time - without fail - I'm left with lumps and bruises at the injection site, I'm injecting 9u at a time with 4mm, 32G needles. I don't have a great deal of fat on my legs but I'm...

Hi all, first post! I've recently come out in a really bad rash all over my body and my doctors can't work out what it is. Blood tests have all come back negative for regular allergies and conditions, and I've altered my diet several times with no progress. I was on a course of steroids which...

Hello. I'm T1 and until last night had been taking 18 units of Levemir each evening. I was given Tresiba yesterday and advised to inject two units less. I went steadily up all night to 17.9 when my woke thirsty and groggy at 5am. Has anyone else made the switch, and if so, please could you give...

So I went for my diabetic check up today and my doctor was talking with me about my Sugar levels that they seem to rise more later in the day , she said to cut my levemir in to two halfs (from 36units at 11pm) to (18units 11pm and 11am ) to see if it helps with the rise of my sugar in min day as...

Hello all, I have noticed that I require a lot less basal insulin (Levemir) of late. I was on around 32 units, split dose (both 16u). Now I'm down to 14u, 7u split dose and I'm still experiencing hypos during the day and also during the night (according to the Libre). Over the past two weeks...

Morning all! I'm currently on a basal/bolus regime with Levemir and Novorapid. I've typically been taking my Levemir as a split dose at 7pm/am. Since using the Freesyle Libre I've had access to graphs and the like and I've noticed a trend. I can now see that I typically dip lowest during the...

Hello all :) New to the Forum today! Thought I'd wade in with a problem that has been hindering me for the past 9 months or so... Diagnosed as T1D in April '14 and after a couple of months had everything relatively under control. Moved house June '15 and a month or so later the insulin stored...

Good morning everyone! I hope that you are all very well today and that you levels are on point!! During DAFNE course, we were told that Levemir lasts for 16-18 hours average. I am wondering, however, is there a possibility (depending on the dosage) that it can finish earlier than 16 hours...

Just after some advice/ thoughts about timings for Levemir. Currently I take my morning Levemir about 6am and my night injection about 10.30/ 11 pm. I have recently cut down my evening doseage as I tend to be sensitive to hypo early morning after breakfast. I am now wondering if it could be...

Hello lovely people! I hope you are having a great day! It has been about 3 months since I started the basal/bolus scheme and I come up with all these funny questions. Please be tolerant with me if my question is silly but, it does feel important to me. How do we handle our Levemir injection...

Hey guys. Hope everyone is well. Not new diabetic but I have just been moved from tablets to insulin. Absolutely terrified of having a hypo as my sugars have always been high. I have never had one before. This is the lowest I have ever been ( 5.4 mmol). Worried that I won't realise if I do go...
