[QUOTE="akaust, post: 1197063, member: 310758"] Hi, So I took 12 units of novorapid and 8 units of Levemir (new split dose) before my meal last night at around 10:30 and set an alarm to test at 3:30 am so I could get it right for the basal test i wanted to do this morning. At 3:30 when I tested my sugars were 12.5 so i took 4 units of novorapid to correct it. So I tested again just now before taking my 8 units of levemir and hoping to start the basal test and sugar level is still 11.6 so i can not do the test now. I am at a loss here I am starting to think there is something wrong with my Novorapid - I suspected this last week and opened a new box but it is still the same problem. Aspie - I am going to talk to my GP about getting degludec instead of levemir. I work as an IT manager / Web Developer and I commute around 3 hours a day total. The reason I want to get things under control so urgently is because I am so tired at the moment. Thanks for recommending Xylitol. I looked at that just now but lots of people complain of stomach pains with that so i ordered sucralose instead (i have had this in sugar free squash and find it tastes quite nice). So will have to wait til tomorrow to do the basal test now. :( [/QUOTE]
