Did you improve since last year? 105 per day,<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite69" alt=":wideyed:" title="Wide Eyed    :wideyed:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":wideyed:" /> wow, I thought I was high on 80 units per day as 40 in the morning and 40 in the evening (Levemir).I noticed you did the DAFNE course, which honestly, only you will know how to judge the fast-acting insulin. TBH, the Dafne course to me was more a learning experience than a tool. Also helped me get the CGM Dexcom G6-G7. This is definitely a good tool to alert you to where you are going wrong or how rich in carbs some food can be. Before I had my first CGM, I was pricking my finger 8-9 times a day just to understand before and after meals, plus morning wake-up and before bed. I noticed you take Semglee, which I probably will have to change because Levemir is going out of the market in the UK this year. Do you split your dosage or do you take it all at once a day? I'm trying to understand this insulin. I was so good in range with Levemir and Fiasp and now it seems I'm going to have to go all over again. It would be nice to know how you manage it and if you also improved from last year. I'm diagnosed with T1 since 2014 because it points to a side effect of cortisone (steroids) failing my pancreas. It was a learning year those days, but I even subscribed to Dexcom G5, then G6, and eventually got funded by the trust to G6, then G7. CGM is something I can't leave without. One because I can go as low as 2 mmol/L and not feel a hypo and two to be able to check my watch and see where I am in terms of if I need insulin or carbs depending on the activity in the next few hours.</blockquote>
