Hi
I was diagnosed LADA in June 2018, started Levemir twice daily in September 2018 and Novarapid in December 2018.
I ate a relatively low carb diet until recently when I was advised to introduce more to my diet. I have been having a sandwich at lunch time (granary seeded bread) and having pasta/ potatoes with my evening meal. I always weigh and check carb content.
My doses are: Levemir 14 at night 4 in the morning. Novarapid 1 unit per 10g but do round down rather than up as I think I do still have a little insulin production.
The issue I am having is, i check my blood 4 hours after my evening meal and insulin and it is often okish, ranging from 5-8. But on occasions I take bloods after 6 hours they are considerably higher e.g. last night 4hours = 7.8 6 hours 12.1. My morning reading was 8.9.
Im really confused about which insulin I should be altering to try and sort this out. Any guidance or info on similar experiences would be appreciated.
