levemir

Hi guys, I'll try to keep it simple and descriptive as poss. Really need some advice or some tips if anyone has any please! I'm currently on fiasp for my bolus, ratio 1:1 all day and I'm on 27 units of Tresiba for my basal which I take at 7am. I find when I take fiasp if my levels are above 11...

Hi all, it’s been a little while since I have been on here. However, I’m needing some help/advice. I find myself struggling with the low moods and listless feelings of T1D atm. Firstly, I missed my diabetes appointment earlier this month. I was very upset about this. I waited all day by the...

Hi, another question!:D I have 16 units of Levemir in the morning at 9am. I then take another 16 units at 9pm... But, I eat my tea around 6.30pm to 7pm. Usually before tea I am 4 to 6. When I test before bed at around 10pm I'm usually between 10 - 15. Do you think I should have a jab after...

Can you get Levemir in half units? Feel I'm 8n between an 8 and 9. I don't use a pump. I'm so sensitive when I get moving around so constantly finding if I lower my basal by one unit cos I've got a busy morning on my feet but sat on my backside for most of the afternoon then I find I need...

I want to apologise. Hi Everyone, hope you are all staying safe and well. I’ve been feeling very guilty and wanted to get it off my chest so be prepared for a little bit of a long read! Due to having Type 1 Diabetes and living with my dad who has COPD and asthma, I was prepared to stay at...

Hey everyone, I was diagnosed with Type 1 in 2011 and have been on a Lantus/Novorapid up until about 3 months ago. My control has always been really tight, but after attending a recent DAFNE course, the nurse was keen on switching me over to Levemir. I think their main worry was that I am at...

hi.. i am a mum to a newly diagnosed type 1 diabetic 3 year old. I can remember the Diabetic team telling me about them being able to have the two together but i couldn't remember for sure if she said it was okay or not? With him being newly diagnosed his usual routine has gone out the window...

Hi All, Last few morning's my sugars have been over 10 in the morning, my pre-bed readings were lower. Took some slight novorapid to bring them down to average and have increased my basal from 12 to 14 before bed (Levemir). I am still getting high's. Usual day readings are fine. Any ideas?

I have recently moved from lantus 16.5 units to Levemir.... but after starting on 19 units of Levemir, I'm now up to 18 units during the day and 12 at night.... with the 12 needing to be increased again!! Cannot believe how much I am needing, anyone else experience this? Also, I feel very...

hi, I'm currently trying to work out my Levemir basal split doses, since moving from 1 lantus injection last week. I think I have cracked the before bed does at 10 units at 10 am.... today I tried 12 units this morning and fasted from 6am to 12pm, my BS rose from 4.6 to 8.... do I just keep...

can anyone help me? Recently changed to Levemir and two basal injections a day instead of the 1 lantus in attempt to control night time hypos. Last night I injected 10 units at 8pm. I tested throughout the night and my blood sugars were stable around 6-7, all night until 4:30am when they...

Hi Guys Type 1 for about 18 months now. On novorapid bolus and levemir basal twice a day (10am & 10pm). Had a super busy weekend and crashed last night at about 8pm and slept right through until morning so forgot to take my 10pm. Woke up and bloods were understandably very high 16ish, took my...

I was getting concerned that my BG levels were creeping up a bit and wondered if might have to re introduce basal insulin to my regime so I bit the bullet and decided to start a fresh round of basal test so no breakfast today :( and this is what I found: Last insulin and meal 18:30 28/07/2016...

hi everyone, I'm going out to eat with friends today but that means eating dinner roughly 2 hours later than I would normally. Im on a bolus basal regime and I'm wondering if taking the rapid acting homolog before my later meal would mean it overlaps with my basal that i guess i should take...

Hi all, I'm 17 and my mum has had Type 2 Diabetes for 20-something years now, after gestational diabetes with my elder sister. T2 runs down my mum's side of the family (yay genes..) and I have grown up with it in my life; I have memories from my childhood of sitting on the bed with my mum...
