Levemir

[vikki]

Hi am to go back onto levemir and gp has suggested 10 units at bed time but as I go to bed at 9 (old girl) it would be working in early hours and my bg at night is very good so am going to do the basal in early morning ,so can anyone tell me average time for peak action please to help me get timing right
If posted in wrong place please mods can you put it where it needs to be

The peak time will relate to bodily weight compared to dosage and Levemir was designed to be injected twice a day, not once. It only has a small peak at about 2 hours anyway - not like Lantus with a comparatively mega peak at 4-5 hours after injecting.

Not sure how you'd calculate all that for T2, sorry.
