[QUOTE="mattrix, post: 2259582, member: 512253"] [SIZE=4]It took me months, if not years to consistently get figures near 5-6 mmol/L. Like you I was told to take 2 units every time I eat. This was not enough for me but just when I thought I had a handle on things, my pancreas would decide the holiday was over and I'd have unexpected hypos. This is probably why they start at 2 units, better to be a bit high than too low. The levimir is not supposed to cover BGs after food, so if you eat and don't take novorapid to cover the carbs your BG's will be high. I also suffer from Dawn Phenomenon/insulin resistance in the morning, which means my insulin doesn't work well in the morning, my BG's are higher, but does work better in the afternoon/evening, my BG's are lower.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
