[QUOTE="meg7024, post: 1361123, member: 143684"] Hello, I'm a type 1 Diabetic, 22 years old on Humalog and Levimir. I am currently travelling the world! At the moment I am in Indonesia. Unfortunately I also have a eating disorder, anorexia. At the moment my eating disorder is really peaking/having a wobble so what I am eating is minimal, when I do eat it will be no carbs and just fruit or veg. I've also lost around 2 stone in weight- surely this would alter insulin ratios too? As I'm not eating carbs I haven't been taking my humalog, which is what my nurse said to do as humalog is fast acting. With my levimir I am on 15 units in the morning which seems to keep me at a good level in the day. However I keep having Nasty low bloods in the morning, my levimir is reduced to 8 units but I am still going low. This seems a very small dose and I'm just wondering if it's worth ditching the night time dose? This seems a bold move so I'm a bit nervous. I know levimir works on a 12 hour basis so maybe increase my morning dose if I was to ditch the night time injection? Has anyone done this before/what do you think? Please no negative comments on my eating issues- that is a completely different topic altogether! Many thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
