hello
I am in Basel insulin routine. Basically I take Novarapid and Levemir. Levemir I take 20 units twice per day as per my consultant recommendation and Novarapid I take per the carb which I eat. I have the Freestyle Insulinx machines which calculates how much fast acting insulin I should take per grams of food. I have been getting some really high blood sugar levels in the the morning usually between 9 and 11. I go to bet and blood sugar can be between 6 and 7 and then in the morning it is high. I take the Levemir before I go to bed. The meter tells me not to use any fast acting insulin when my blood sugar is 6. I am getting really concerned because I suffer from diabetic retinopathy and I need to get better control of my diabetes. Have not attended the DAFNE course yet. I have the Carbs and Cal apps with helps with the carb counting. I have discussed with my consultant that I should take between 3-4 units of insulin for every 10 grams of carbs. Can any advice or have the same problem.
