[QUOTE="MeiChanski, post: 2063674, member: 503481"] It is difficult, you'll need your diabetes team to listen and possibly discuss it with your daughter's results at hand. Levemir was once told to be taken once daily because it was thought to last 24hrs but nowadays diabetics have experienced that levemir lasts around 16hrs or so, hence split levemir makes sense and gives flexibility. I'm also a bit concerned because testing 2hrs after a meal while theres still insulin on board then taking levemir might have contributed to your daughter's hypos. Again if she takes novorapid, it has a 4hour window, if she eats around 6-6:30pm, tests at around 8pm or so, then takes levemir at 9-9:30pm, there will be evening meal insulin still on board, so you may need to look into the insulin profile and peak times, novorapid peaks around 1-2hrs. Bearing that in mind, a basal check will see if levemir is dipping your daughter's levels or not. [/QUOTE]
