[QUOTE="lilibet, post: 107694, member: 11459"] Cheers claire et al Trying to look at correction doses and on at least 3 occasions, bg starting and at 3 hours were the same so yes it is unusual, if not downright scientifically impossible in theory! I split my levemir but as soon as novo is out system (even if it doesnt lower it that much) bg is bouncing back up again so think it might be basal running out. Seems to keep me steady, until a certain point so rather than it be not right basal, it just seems that it runs out. I believe lower doses (and mines only 5u) make it more likely. I was on NPH as part of the mix and it actually seemed to work better as the 'basal' bit but the short acting in the mix was rubbish. Noticing a pattern if I dont eat lunch - jumps up mid afternoon and then continues, eventually hitting a ceiling so think its running out and therefore at some point in the day is going to have to be propped up with novorapid, which is unfortunate as mines doesnt seem to work! I inject at 8am and start to notice a rise from about 2pm onwards, so all in all not great though overnight seems to be ok - go figure. Am going to put basal up (though in theory it might not stop it running out still as its timing, not stability that seems the prob, though of course if you have high fbg and cant correct it then that stability is at higher numbers BOO :evil: ) Any thoughts on this would also be welcome - have been preparing for mechanics of b/b but like all things diabetes, knowledge is power but only if your insulin WORKS [/QUOTE]
