[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 579309, member: 11028"] As Patch says your not on high doses of insulin so don't worry about that. To get your morning readings down you need to split your levemir dose, it only lasts around 18 hours max so most people find they need to split dose this insulin, your diabetes nurse will advise you on how best to go about this. As for exercising, make sure you reduce your previous bolus dose to allow for the exercise, depending on the duration and intensity you might have to do this by 25-50%, if your exercising everyday and for prolonged periods then you might have to reduce your basal insulin by up to 50%. Take a look at Runsweet for some tips and advice on exercising with type 1 diabetes: [url]http://www.runsweet.com/[/url] [/QUOTE]
