[QUOTE="alaska, post: 675950, member: 14213"] If you're getting high readings before your single Levemir dose -and that happens regardless of which part of the day you have your injection (ie morning or night), it would seem to imply the dose is wearing off before the next one. If doses are wearing off before your next one, note this could could raise the risk of ketoacidosis, particularly if a dose ever got delayed for some reason. It is this reasoning which makes me wonder why doctors put people with type 1 on non-split Levemir doses. I'd certainly suggest putting the question to your diabetes specialist nurse but would also advise speaking with a consultant if you can. Whilst DSNs help people with basics, their all round understanding of diabetes tends to be lacking, I've personally found. Let us know how things go lely. Ed [/QUOTE]
