[QUOTE="oldgreymare, post: 2372504, member: 20373"] Short answer from me is NO. If you find Novorapid only lasts 2-3 hours, that is pretty much to be expected. But what do you mean Levemir is like water? How have you calibrated your basal (= background Levemir insulin) dose? What and why has your DSN recommended? Mixed insulin injections may seem like a simpler solution but only if you are very disciplined re exact meals (always same carbs, proteins, fats - you need to track all) and exactly same activities at the same time every day in order to match the profile of your mixed insulin doses. Otherwise learning to carb count and bolus dose on MDI may be easier/more suitable. [/QUOTE]
