[QUOTE="Draco16, post: 1858009, member: 467776"] I'm thinking that is a lot of insulin, maybe your body is somehow signalling it's dislike of these big injections. Therefore - and this might seem counterintuitive to someone struggling to inject - but try injecting more often! By that I mean split the dose into morning and evening (or any 2 times of the day about 12 hours apart). They're maybe more manageable at 14 units apiece. And it actually means you get the bigger benefit of 24 hour basal insulin coverage - the problem with Levemir is that at once per day it only gives c16 hours or so coverage (not 24). Many of us split Levemir this way. [/QUOTE]
