[QUOTE="GrantGam, post: 1416661, member: 295621"] Thanks for your reply [USER=338121]@EllsKBells[/USER]:) My basal dose tends to stay fairly stable, I normally eat between 130-200ish grams of carbs per day so I don't need much alteration of my basal profile. And when I occasionally (sounds terrible) introduce regular exercise - then I tend to reduce my I:C ratio either side of the exercise session to compensate for the excess basal from my typical dose. My clinic are very good and actually referred me for a pump last time, which I was extremely chuffed about because I have a respectable HbA1c and we're often overlooked for that reason alone. For that reason, I'm hoping that they'll also be willing to consider a more expensive basal insulin for me. I also suffer with the Levemir peak, usually between 5-8 hours - which ultimately means it's very awkward for me to increase it to compensate for my DP, I just get nocturnal hypos... Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've heard that Tresiba has a slight peak at 12 hours? That could be perfect for putting a dent in my DP:) [/QUOTE]
