Just a quick query - what is the "normal" Levemir dosage ?
Reason I ask is that I started injecting in December after 10 yrs on tablets, and feeling **** all the time. Since starting injecting ( and stopping Avandia and Metformin ) I feel a whole lot better.
I was advised by my DN to start at 10 units and increase by 2 until my morning count (FBG?) was 7.
Guess what ? 3 months on and my FFing BBing Gee is now up around 12 and I'm injecting 22 units every evening.
Is 22 units normal ? common to be more perhaps ?
Weight is 14st 3lbs and has risen by a stone over the last year or two.
