[QUOTE="RobertJ, post: 1424842, member: 351599"] Thanks, [USER=30007]@tim2000s[/USER] and [USER=147474]@pinewood[/USER]. In the last six hours before taking Levemir I did a few things. As it happens I walked to a pub, had one pint of beer, then walked back. I injected five units when I got to the pub as I'd had an Royal Gala apple earlier and it was going up a bit and I beer always makes me go really high if unchecked. I had a meal at about 7:30 in the evening and gave 12 units of Novorapid to cover this, injecting before the meal. My reading went up a bit, obviously, then by about 9pm was stabilising to around 7.0. At 10pm it was 6.7 on the Libre and 7.1 on the blood test kit. I gave 11 units of Levemir thinking that finally a night spent in the target range was on the cards. Obviously this was wrong. Perhaps the beer-drinking aspect of this makes it a bad example. Over last week, I've had a few nights where it's been around 9 at the time I want to go to bed and whether I give 1 or even 2 units it just doesn't do anything. I still end up being high all night.
