[QUOTE="MarkMunday, post: 2338117, member: 525839"] Being high all the time usually suggests a basal issue. Bear in mind that your insulin requirement could change over a short period at this stage. 10 units of Levemir is a small dose and you may want to test it again. I would want more rigorous basal tests to be done, one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one during the night. Ensure that blood glucose is in the target range before starting, skip a meal and then test every hour until the next meal. For overnight testing, set your alarm clock and test at say 2 am. This will give you a good idea of how well you basal dose is covering your background insulin requirement. [/QUOTE]
