Message: <blockquote data-quote="mikeyuk" data-source="post: 81623" data-attributes="member: 14281">Hi all.  I've been following low carb for a while now, it's helping but it seems I just can't get my basal right and was hoping someone could help.I originally started off with 26 levemir at night (around 10pm), but found this was leading me to rise around 5-6pm, so I decided to split my doses.  Im up to 15 at night (around 9) and 15 in the morning (around 6am), but now I seem to lose coverage at 10pm.  I think this is the case, its the only explanation I have for being 4-5 all evening (before dinner, 1hr after, 2hr after) then Bam suddenly at 10pm im up to 7.5.  It's intensley frustrating and no matter what I seem to do I just cant curb it.I've tried to map out the coverage of overlapping doses but find it really confusing, I also read I could try taking maybe 30 at night then a "booster" of a small amount of levemir later on in the day to cover the dip later at night. I tried talking to my Diabetes Doc about it but she was Zero help, doesn't even recommend fasting to adjust basal doses and didn't get back to me with a levemir profile.Any chance someone here could help me please?</blockquote>
