[QUOTE="paulpapa, post: 1236394, member: 243591"] Thanks for all the replies. I split my Levermir into two doses; one at 8am and 8pm of 25u each. I've recently lowered my dose to these levels as I was on 35 each time. I found I was more sensitive to the insulin and stopped taking the one daily, with dinner, Metformin as a consequence. I'm still trying to adjust my bolus insulin but I know that'll take time to get right. I just thought I had once again sorted the basal. [USER=53162]@Juicyj[/USER] I used to note at breakfast because of high blood sugars and didn't want food in me to compound the problem. After a week if doing DAFNE and having breakfast (around 40g carbs) I managed to get pretty good blood sugar readings, even after eating between 8 and 10, which for me is fantastic when I had been previously waking up 12-18. I was using the Libre but I'm away at the moment and can't get any new sensors shipped to me. Seeing a graph would help me know what was happening while I slept. I might get up tonight for a 3am basal test. Last night, four hours after dinner I was 16.5, took 6u Novorapid and then was 13.6 by the time I went to bed three hours later, so I thought I'll leave it as I still had a unit or two working. This morning I'm 16.8. It's annoying. [/QUOTE]
