I have been low carbing since December and my a1c has gone down by .8. I saw my diabetic doc last week and he decided to change me from Insulatard to Levemir.
Since Jan I have been keeping a blood sugar diary and have seen many readings between 6-9. Since I started Levemir I have not had a single reading below 14. Always in the 14 range. He put me on a dose for dose so 13iu morning and evening. That definitely wasn't working so have worked up to 20 and 20. Still woke up on 14.
Do I need to keep rising? The purpose of low carbing was to reduce insulin needs as I'm on a fat loss prep.
