[QUOTE="Maiii1247, post: 2529531, member: 557703"] Hi! So I was started on 17u levemir at 9pm and 5-6 units of Novorapid with every meal. However the 17u of levemir drop me too much at night. Especially from 12am to 3am and dont give me coverage in the afternoon. It only keeps my sugars stable from 9pm to 3pm, after which i start rising. Also, Reducing units only gives my bad sugars in the afternoon Im pretty nervous but after a lot of meltdowns ive decided to split my levemir into 8u at 6am and 8u at 6pm corresponding to when i wake up for college and when i have my late late lunch. Now, HOW SAFE IS THIS? my doctor doesnt agree on a split as he says its a 24 hr insulin so itd be useless so IM DOING THIS ON MY OWN. Does splitting levemir cause any overlaps? Does it change your bolus ratios? Would this make me more prone to hypos? For everyone that split their levemir, how did the trials and errors go and what did u learn along the way? I have a very hectic routine and i dont wanna risk a bad hypoglycemic episode infront of my college mates. [/QUOTE]
