[QUOTE="kenrobrich, post: 1465529, member: 402462"] Thanks so much for the reply! It's reassuring to know I'm not alone :) Funny story on the basal - I've been doing two injections for about 8? years now, after I accidentally injected 120units of levemir at university (instead of 60, best not to ask how) - and it made no real noticeable difference. From there, the doctors screamed at me to reduce my doses, so I ended up splitting it 30u - 30u. The past 6 months I've thought about lowering it and seeing what happens. To my surprise, nothing really happens. I've got it down to about 12 units each now, and noticed that my levels are generally still stable throughout the day other than the morning (I've eaten a couple 0 carb meals a few days to confirm this). My recent blood tests show (slightly - not concerning) high levels of serum albumin, something I've done a little research into and found that can relate to high levels of insulin resistance - which in turn can be caused by dosing a lot of insulin. Does this sound familiar? Admittedly, I haven't had a chat with a diabetes specialist for a while, so maybe this is worth bringing up. [/QUOTE]
