Since diagnosis in November, I've used split Levemir and Novorapid.
I had one episode where I was running around India like an eejit and had bolused for something that was barely a snack let alone the meal I expected. Even then, it was a very mild hypo at about 3.7mmol (and I only really barely noticed feeling a bit light).
Since then, I've managed to keep my BG at somewhere between 4 and 7.5 (generally). I've reduced my units to keep this state of affairs. I am not carb counting - still haven't been booked onto anything and told to stick to fixed bolus. I have not yet experienced a full hypo (which is just as well, I don't want one).
Is this to be expected - am I just awesome at being diabetic? Or am I straying onto a trajectory that's too high? Or could it be insulin resistance?
