Hey guys!
Well, my diabetes clinic today went well (although I had to endure 3 hours of hanging around). My HbA1c is back at 5.9% which really pleased me and after discussing the lows I've been getting mid morning but the highs at fasting and late afternoon, the Registrar decided it was time to stop the Insuman basal and try the flatter, longer-lasting profile of Levemir. I've taken my first dose this evening, but don't really know what to expect. I'd got used to trying to take the Insuman peak into account when working out my Apidra dose, but this evening I was at a complete loss as to how much Apidra to take. I guess it's back to trial and error again, but if anyone is on an Apidra/Levemir regime I could do with your experiences!
Cheers
