Nutritional body Cleanse

[Chi11y]

Hi all,

I am currently using approx. 25 units of Levimir a day first thing in the morning.

On Tuesday I am starting a 9 day nutritional body cleanse where I will be using a nutritional shake for Breakfast & Lunch then a 600 calorie meal in the evening. Has anyone done anything similar and if so what would you recommend for Levimir dosage in the morning?

Regards

Lee

Really depends on which type of diabetes you have. If you are on any drug therapy that reduces glucose such as insulin then you could be at risk of hypos.



Late onset T1, several auto immune issues.
Humalogmix25 twice a day, Methotrexate 25mg once per week, FolicAcid 5mg once per week, prednisolone 5mg daily, Allopurinol 300mg, Calcichew-D3 800iu, Levothyroxine 50mcg, Atenolol 50mg, Losarten 100mg, Aspirin 75mg, Nicorandil 20mg, Nitrolingual GTN spray, Metformin 2000mg, Allimemazine 10mg, Lanzoprazole 30mg, Atorvastatin 20mg, Co Codamol 8/500mg, Depo Medrone (Methylprednisolone) or double Prednisolone for 7 days in case of RA flare.

In theory the correct basal insulin dose should keep your blood glucose steady during the day whilst you don't eat, so if the dose is correct no adjustment should be necessary.
