Hello..
After some lack of help from my diabeties center as well as a lack of information, I decided to join up to seek some advise and help.
So I was put on the 4 injections a day. Basal - Bolus, Novorapid and Levemir. I was given some default injection levels.
Levemir - 30
Rapid:
Breakfast: 15
lunch: 15
dinner 15
So I tried these for a day or so and discovered that they were a bit enthusiastic with there levels...
After missing my appointment at the group counting carbs ect... thanks again to the hospital who sent my appointment to the wrong address again, and then I got it the day after... helpful...
So I lowered some of the levels until I could find a level that worked. Levemir to 22 / 23, an Rapid to 8, 8 and 15 evening.
Problem I am discovering is night times.
Back in April 2012, after a busy day in London I did my normal routeen, only then to wake up in Hospital after having a fit, which I have no record of in my memory. So quite understandably Im a bit paranoid about nights... this was back on the Novomix 30.
My levels on the Basal - Bolus, are getting on the high side to say the least.. tonight as I type this.. 11.7
Night before 18.2... managing to reduce that to 15.9... night before that 17.1 night before that 12.4.
I inject my Levemir the 24 hour injection about 00:15 in the morning, Im seeing some alarming to me, drops.. loosing around 5 - 7 units over night... and Im concerned.
A) becoming paranoid again... lacking alot of sleep due to me worrying and watching the levels.
B) Help from the DB Center.. is proving... well useless...
II would like to know from anyone who uses these injections, How can I firstly get the levels down to a suitable level, and How if at all can I stop the massive drop over night (When I do eventually get some sleep.) Can that be done through the level of the Levemir? or somthing else.
I woke up on the first day with a level of 5.2 which sort of rung alarm bells in my mind.
Any help or advice or direction would be greatfully received.
And if I don't get taken to a Hospital over night I will get back to you all.
Thanks in Advance.
