[QUOTE="Gaz-M, post: 778551, member: 161717"] Hi, I was on Levimir (26 units) for a number of years but I started getting "ballooning) on my injection sites for some unknown reason, and was put on Lantus (a straight swap 26 units) just before Christmas. After a series of bad hypos and uncontrollable blood sugars I dropped the dose down to 14 units but I was still having problems controlling my over all bloods. I was put on Degludec 2 weeks ago and was told to start on 12 units, I had to increase this to 14 units and not had a night time hypo as of yet, BUT no matter which way I try changing my morning insulin dose I,m having a hypo every afternoon at work. I have to phone the diabetes specialist nurse this week to discuss what effect the Degludec is having. I have had type 1 diabetes since I was 2, 43 year ago and over the past year not had the good control have had most of my life. This maybe down to the length of me having this condition, I will post again after I speak to the nurse [/QUOTE]
