[QUOTE="qbix, post: 419340, member: 69446"] Just had a look at think like a pancreas (awesome book). It states levemir is 25% less potent than other types of insulin. It also has a great graph of the time period that it is active in the body for and it is only 18-24 hrs. It also takes a few hours to reach its peak and has a few hours to tail off. From what I have read most people split their levemir injections over the day giving themselves one in the morning and one at night. The problem you have is that you are on such a small dose there is no way to split it. I am on lantus for my basal. That gets to work quicker, has no peak and lasts longer. Might be worth talking to the DSN about switching basal insulin?
