[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 579739, member: 11028"] Or you could change to lantus which is another basal insulin, in most cases this just needs to injected once a day and it's often the case that you need less of a dose when taking lantus than you do with levemir. When I briefly changed over to levemir from lantus my DSN warned me that I'd need to inject a good third more, as it happened I doubled the dose and still couldn't get my levels under control with levemir, hence the reason why I changed back . Try and exercise regularly, exercise makes us extremely sensitive to the insulin we inject which is a good thing if you want to reduce your insulin doses, I can eat a meal that is highish in carbs and still take little insulin if I'm exercising afterwards :) [/QUOTE]
