[QUOTE="georgehT1, post: 1724241, member: 470295"] Hi all I'm brand new here, so please go easy on me I have been on Novarapid and Levemir for the past couple of years after being on Novamix (apparently incorrectly) for the 8 years before that. I have been doing great, and my levels have never been better (On Novamix I was handling it terribly). I have also dropped about 3 stone by going to the gym and taking care of myself in the last year, but recently my levels are all over the place again, and have been for a few weeks. I believe my Levemir is not lasting the full 24 hours, and a couple of hours before I inject before bed my levels remain very high after injecting a calculated and common amount of Novarapid at dinner time. My diet has remained largely unchanged, and I cannot really attribute the high levels to anything else. Once I inject my Levemir my levels seem to plummet a bit which results in me having to have a snack, which can make my morning levels high. I can also regularly wake up with extremely low levels, bordering on a hypo. I cannot find a balance. I'd like to try moving to a twice a day Levemir, but are there any risks and is there a good method of instigating the change? Are there any known reasons why this might occur, for example does it have anything to do with my metabolism changing due to the weight loss? Many Thanks George [/QUOTE]
