[QUOTE="iHs, post: 171902, member: 8799"] Hello Susie As Humalin is twice daily insulin if you try to increase your morning dose in order to make your evening meal bg level lower, what will most likely happen is that your bg will start to go lower at lunch time which is not going to be ideal. You should as the others have suggested, talk to your dsn about what you should do. I can only suggest that you keep your insulin dose the same at the moment and just cut back a touch on the amount of carb that you eat at lunch time or if you eat a mid afternoon snack, cut back a bit on that. You should then find that your bg level will be a bit lower by the time you eat your evening meal. Of course, with everything you do regarding adjusting your insulin, keep testing your bg levels so that you'll be able to see what is going on. Don't worry - nothing bad is going to happen :wink: :) [/QUOTE]
