[QUOTE="LooperCat, post: 1866624, member: 468055"] Have you done basal rate testing? It’s a PITA, but once you’ve got the doses and timing right, especially with a peaky insulin like Levemir, you’ll have a solid foundation to base your Novorapid doses on. This page gives a great guide on how to do it, it deals with both pumps and injection regimes: [URL]https://mysugr.com/basal-rate-testing/[/URL] Some people are finding that Levemir works better with a three-way split, but you’d need to do a fair bit of basal rate testing to work that one out. It doesn’t last nearly as long in the body as the manufacturers claim - some folk are saying it lasts just 8 hours for them. We’re all different, of course. It may be worth considering a really long acting insulin like Tresiba, or maybe a pump? [/QUOTE]
