[QUOTE="Dillinger, post: 87174, member: 13582"] Hello, Ok, it took about a week to 10 days to calm down but now I'm feeling very good about this; most of my bloods are now between 4-6 and my Novorapid requirements have come down. Currently on 16 units of Levemir 8:00 am and 8:00 pm and 5 units of Novorapid with each meal. The Levemir then is 32 units versus 22 units of Lantus; which is pretty much exactly as people predicted for the increase. Most pleasingly overnight I'm not getting any dips or shenanigans (as yet...), was 5.5 at 11:45 when I went to bed last night (I took a mouthful of apple juice just in case), was woken at 4:00 am by my infant son so tested and it was 6.2 then and this morning at 8:00 it was 4.6. If I can maintain this, hopefully I will be back in the 5% club in a few months. I may have to drop the night time dose a bit as I'm not particularly keen on having to eat/drink anything sweet before going to bed, but I'm pleased to say it's all looking good. No hypos yet either!
