[QUOTE="Fallenstar, post: 223426, member: 36659"] Hi Mr Maroon welcome! Sorry to hear about the sudden rise ,you are right though you are probably out of the honeymoon period this can be more of a gradual process for some, sudden and overnight almost for others :shock: I really think you should get an appointment with your DSN ASAP so they can set you some new levels to take away and tweak until you are back to where you were with your readings. It probably is your Basal insulin which is a bit low, I'm not on a Hugh dose of Levimir, 12 AM, 8 PM and you are right we are all different. I have recently moved from years on Lantus to Levemir,a happy change for me but I found I did need more of the Levemir and may have to start to slightly increase it. You could try a couple of unit increase on your split dose and wait a few days to give the insulin chance to adjust and see how your fasting and post meal reading are. you may now need a much bigger increase of it if you are dose adjusting your Bolus for carbs and your two hour reading seems good but then you are creeping up . If this seems to be the case really do go and get professional advice because a forum can't really help you safely with adjustments . You are at an important stage now with your Diabetes,get the right help. Maybe your Bolus to carb ratio needs have also changed? So go get some proper help! :D All the very best, I'm sure you will be back on track soon :D [/QUOTE]
