[QUOTE="EllsKBells, post: 1465595, member: 338121"] Hi [USER=402462]@kenrobrich[/USER] and welcome to the forum! I don't get DP, but my feet to the floor rise is extremely aggressive, although not so bad since moving onto Tresiba, which has helped slightly with my extremely variable requirements throughout the day. Could also be a good move if you are concerned about the size of your dose - I've gone from 30 units of levemir to 21 of tresiba. I don't drink coffee anymore - it doesn't mix well with my heart medications - but even drinking it black used to give me a spike, possibly because of the caffeine. Might be worth doing an experiment - have the same lunch 3 days running, 1st day have your normal coffee, 2nd day have it black, 3rd day have decaf + milk? What times are you having your basal? When I was on split levemir, I wasn't splitting it evenly - it was 18 and 12, although don't ask me which way round it was now. Levemir doesn't have the most stable action in the first place, and your body at night when asleep is a very different place to your body moving around in the day. Your requirements might be differing. All in all, I think the best thing to do is to make a note of all your concerns and have a good long chat with your specialist. [/QUOTE]
