[QUOTE="iHs, post: 437592, member: 8799"] Hi You might be able to get better stability if you give yourself split doses of basal instead of just the once. Levemir might be the answer. Also, although we can all dose adjust for we want to eat, usually eating large amounts of carb in one go, means that the ratio we use to eat lower amounts of carb, not be correct to eat larger amounts. It becomes a bit hit and miss. I usually need more insulin to eat a lower amount of carb like no more than 40g where if I was to eat about 60g or more in one go, I would need to use less. Example on 40g carb I would be ok using carb ratio of 1u to 8g carb but on higher amounts of carb, I would need 1u to 10g carb.
