[QUOTE="smidge, post: 711141, member: 29301"] So, a bit of a mixed bag of results from my fastings with my new insulin regime this week. Much improved, with 4 days being 5.5 to 6.9 and, interestingly, no BG rise in the late afternoon/evening as I was expecting given that I've moved my evening basal back from 6.30pm to 10pm. The other 3 days were double-figure - well, one was 10ish, one would have been at least that but I woke in the night and hammered it down with a unit and a half of Apidra and the other was a whopping 14! No real handle on why such an inconsistency - the Insuman is clearly better at controlling this than the Levemir, but not perfect by a long way. I think the bad fastings were following a late tea - so just maybe it's the timing of the evening meal that is the issue - not sure why it would be as I give the same bolus for a meal eaten at 6.30pm as I do for one eaten at 8.30pm, so it should reduce the BG by the same but relatively later no? I hope it's not this as my job simply doesn't give me the flexibility to eat at the same time every day. Anyway, I'll play around with the doses a bit and see how it goes over the Christmas period when my routine will be all over the place. So far, Insuman is looking better for me than Levemir.
