[QUOTE="evilclive, post: 2063643, member: 488171"] The slow acting insulins really are slow acting. I'll happily put my levemir in when in the 4s, because I know it takes hours to do its thing. Re weight gain : as DCUKMod has said, all insulins will list weight gain as a side effect. If you give yourself too much insulin, you'll have to eat more. Measurement is key to managing this - measuring lots should help keep your blood sugars in check, and keeping your blood sugars in check means you're not giving yourself too much insulin. And re bloods going all over the place - **** isn't it. Experience helps, but even the people on here with lots of experience and without the other problems you have still get it wrong from time to time. Don't worry too much about staying at a precise level - you can get away with quite a lot. It needs working at, but perfection isn't the aim. [/QUOTE]
