[QUOTE="Pneu, post: 193393, member: 28827"] I had all-sorts of problems with Levemir and it just didn't seem to do the job I was having to inject upwards of 250 units a day to maintain ok control.. and I still had a huge DP issue.. my blood sugars could go from 5.0 at 3am to 16+ by 6am!.. I also saw a big increase in my blood pressure and with that much insulin in my system it was hell to not eat! I had many arguments with my GP who put it down to being resistant but as I kept pointing out to him my ratios for novo-rapid were quite normal... Anyway's long story short I took a trip to the consultant at the hospital a month back and asked to be moved onto Insulatard.. so I have moved from 2 to 3 injections a day but I am now [i]only[/i] having to inject 75 units a day so a mere 30% of what I was... and my DP is totally under control.. went to bed at 5.1 last night.. woke up at 5.4 this morning.. I think everyone is different but my suggestion is if you are unhappy with your insulin then certainly ask about changing it as a different insulin you may notice a massive difference! [/QUOTE]
