[QUOTE="martinbuchan, post: 197, member: 718"] Are you somewhere remote? You should really speak to your hospital based diabetic nurses- mine are brill for advice like this. They might be a bit annoyed if you didn't phobe them. The control your morning fasting BS- you need to adjust your levemir dose. Only change 2-4 units every 3 days or so. There is no hurry. The day time BS is influenced by levemir, novorapid, food intake and activity level. I find I am constantly experimenting on myself still after 1 year of insulin and still doing 5-6 BS measurements per day. As I am type 2, I do a lot of post meal BS as well. I usually do a top up novorapid in the evening a my BS rise after the evening meal is quite long. My top up dose is BS+2 units. This has never made me hypo. My type 1 neighbour has quite high BS after meals but this plummets at 3-4 hours. Quite a different disease really. Also, levemir was initally once a day, but can be used twice daily.
