[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 2063665, member: 468714"] Guidelines unfortunately are made by people usually not having direct experience as has been noted. The lack of flexibility in approach by any health team member is sad and unhelpful. Unfortunately we cannot prescribe or suggest doses for split Levemir bur when i was first prescribed it in 1995 the starting split was 2/3 morning with premeal short acting insulin and 1/3 at night with nightime dose at 10 pm. You would need definite input from perhaps a less inflexible team member to work with on this, perhaps her doctor. As noted above any lowering of BSLs might be around the 4 hour mark after Levemir, but that is just my experience with Levemir. As it happened, for me the 10 pm dose helped control my Dawn Phenomenon (DP - type it in Question box of Forum or Home page for details) starting about3 to 4 am but DP may or may not be present in TIDs as I understand it.
