[QUOTE="smidge, post: 749679, member: 29301"] Glad the Levemir's settling for you Tim. I've sort of settled on 5.5 units of Insuman Basal at night and 7 units Levemir in the morning. The Insuman seems brilliant at catching the late protein rise and any DP. I sometimes need a chocolate or jelly baby mid morning, but other than that I seem to have got rid of most of the lows by reducing the Apidra slightly and letting the Insuman help cover breakfast. I've also had to reduce lunch time Apidra but I'm not sure why. I've also only needed one correction bolus in the last month whereas I was using quite a few when only on Levemir as my basal. Not too sure why this regime is working for me, but it does seem to be. I had intended to try replacing the morning Levemir with Insuman, but I think I'll leave well enough alone for now and continue with the three insulins. I think Insuman lasts longer for me than Levemir for some reason. Smidge [/QUOTE]
