[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1760740, member: 32394"] On what basis are you varying your levemir dose nightly? The job of your basal insulin is to keep you flat-ish when not eating or bolusing. Levemir is very responsive to dose changes so people might change their dose for exercise or at the weekend when they aren't working. But varying it on a nightly basis and not even being able to say what sort of units your dose varies between does suggest you might not understand what your basal insulin is for. Have you basal tested? Here's a guide on how to basal test - [URL]https://mysugr.com/basal-rate-testing/[/URL] . DAFNE guidance says one nocturnal hypo is too many and recommends immediately reducing basal by 20% to avoid further. [/QUOTE]
