[QUOTE="KHeggie87, post: 408970, member: 78400"] That is quite shocking. You ALWAYS need insulin, if you have a substantial amount of carbohydrate. I've done the DAFNE course so need 2 units of insulin per carbohydrate portion (10g) However for example if I have 2 sugars in a cup of tea, I don't need extra insulin. If your having a bowl of cereal your def going to need insulin for it. Also you mention your on once daily Levemir, speak to your Diabetes team about changing it to twice daily. I say this because they now say Levemir only lasts 16-18 hours and not the full 24 hours like first thought. That might be the cause of your high blood sugars. Remember everyone is here to offer you advice and support. Kev. Sent from the [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig]Diabetes Forum App[/url] [/QUOTE]
