Three comments.One: juggling the basal did it for me with a split dose - 70% at breakfast, 30% at lunch. Levemir doesn't really last a full 24 hrs so the second dose tops it up through the night when the first dose is weakening.Two: there's a hypo symptoms alarm you can buy, worn like a wrist watch. It senses temperature and moisture. I've had 2 or 3 warnings over the last year.You get false alarms if you stick your arm outside the duvet for any length of time but a small price to pay for the peace of mind. GiantBiosensor.comThree: there are some excellent books that will tell you all you need to know about how to manage your insulin (and quite inexpensive, too). There's "Using Insulin" by John Walsh and "Think like a pancreas" by Gary Scheiner which is an easier read whereas Walsh is more detailed and needs more concentration. Amazon has them.
