[QUOTE="Indiana91, post: 510233, member: 98864"] Hi welcome to the group. I'm a type 1 on levemir and have also been on lantus. These types of insulins are MOST important. My consultant stresses that your basal (long acting) insulin is more important than your bolus (short acting) insulin. It keeps you stable throughout the day and reduces the risk of ketones. If you skip a meal and don't have your bolus then you are at a higher risk of starvation ketones as you have no insulin at all. It's very irresponsible to stop taking it. If you've noticed that you have higher blood sugars why haven't you tried to rectify it by taking your insulin properly? Is there a reason for why you have stopped taking it?
