    Overwhelmed and defeated newbie T__T

    Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with Type 1 last summer, still very overwhelmed. Sorry about the long post! I'm on daily injections and Dexcom. I feel that despite my best efforts, and reading and educating myself, I haven't been able to figure out my correct basal dose nor insulin-to-carb ratio...

    Is there any rule to spacing your basal and bolus injections apart? Or it is safe to inject both together

    Hi! (: So Im about to start splitting my basal dose starting tomorrow at 8 units, 12 hours apart (without the supervision of a doctor because he hasnt heard about splitting. But decided to do it since Levemir works upto 16 hours instead of 24 for me). The idea is to take my basal at 6am right...

    Type 1 Please Help! Levemir split advice

    Hello, I am looking for a little advice. Currently I am taking Levemir and Novorapid. I split the Levemir doses as follows: 4 units at 8.15am and 8 units at 8.15pm. However, my blood sugars start to drop drastically at 4pm. I have a feeling this may be to do with the 12 hour split. I would like...

    Splitting Toujeo - Hypothetical question

    Hello everyone! So, the reason for my question is based on a previous event. Last month, I unfortunately had an accident in form of an insulin shock (1st ever, where my mmol/l was less than 1.0). The cause of this was due to too much background insulin, which was a split of Lantus (12 units in...

    Splitting Fiasp Bolus

    Hi there, Has anyone successfully split a bolus using Fiasp? I have recently moved to Fiasp and tried to eat pizza for dinner last night. I had previously managed this on Humalog by splitting my dose about 50:50 and taking the second dose an hour after eating. I tried to do the same last night...

    Moving Tresiba Dose Time

    Morning lovelies. As some of you are no doubt aware, I’ve been whining a lot recently about having to wake up at 3-6am to soma correction dose for the raging dawn phenomenon I’ve been getting, and having to eat when I don’t want to in order to avoid a slump late afternoon/early evening. I...

    Question on Levemir's longevity

    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...
