Hello,
I’ve a couple of (unrelated) questions which I thought I’d bung together rather than swamp the forum.
1) I‘m using a split dose of levemir, I normally wake about 7am, go to bed at 10pm. Is it best to do it at these times or 12 hourly? So evening dose at 7pm rather than bedtime at 10pm?
2) I think I might be experiencing lipohypertrophy in my thighs and bottom, but I’m not sure. I’m trying to rotate as much as possible, use a fresh needle every time. It’s not like lipohypertrophy like I’ve had in the past from area over use. It happens every injection site and it’s quite painful and sore for a day and then goes. I can tell exactly where I’ve injected in the last 24 hours. I wondered if it might be cellulitis? My levels seem ok, no exceptional highs or lows, which is another thing that makes me wonder it’s not lipohypertrophy?
