[QUOTE="enzina, post: 1889790, member: 3870"] Hi Libby, I hope you're having a good weekend in Germany although you're having problems getting used to the Levemir. It seems strange to me that they told you at the hospital to use it four times on top of the basal (long acting) insulin. I have only started using the short acting in April and was told only to use it whenever i'm eating. The DSN said don't use it if you're not eating. No mentioning of eating three or four times. I have not been given any advise regarding carbs, not to this day. All i know i have learnt on this forum. Since i'm using Novorapid i have only seen the nurse once briefly. I must be doing something right because the hba1c has improved dramatically and i didn't put on any weight since then. I just continue to cut down on carbs although not strictly low carbing. The less carbs the less insulin. Anyway, i hope you are able to cope very soon too. If i was you i would not cancel the appointment! Best wishes x [/QUOTE]
