Hello All,
In general for those on MDI what percentage of you total dose is your background ?
At present my daughter (5 yrs) is getting around 25% of her total insulin in levermir
I am thinking this is a little low and should be nearer 40% ?
I guess as a child grows her background will also need to increase (it has been static for the year on MDI)
Noticing a move from where she tended to drop from 10BG at midnight to 6BG 8.30am
To last night 6BG midnight (had a correction at 9.30pm) to 9BG 8.30am
Thanks
Matt
