I'm on a levemir split at the moment - 3u in the morning, 17u before bed.
My sensitivity to the morning levemir has been improving again and I am considering using it just the once a day. The problem I've sometimes had on higher morning doses of levemir is a late afternoon hypo after 3pm. My lunch time quick acting insulin still takes longer than I'd like to "work" because I need to be mindful of the drop - which is within the 2mmol/l basal tested range but closer to the threshold than desirable.
It's something I've been thinking about recently as I've come down from 5u to 3u, I do wonder if taking once a day Levemir and possibly needing to adjust Novorapid ratios during the day may in fact be a simpler insulin profile to manage?
