I agree, your levemir could be reduced a bit. It should just be enough to keep you level, regardless of meals (tho of course that's not always how it works out for everyone).
I try to keep my 2 hour BG under 7.5mmol (135). If I'm higher than 8 I'll take an extra dose of Novorapid to knock me down. High numbers scare me - I want to keep all my body parts as they are! (if only I could control the aging process too lol)
If I'm exercising more than normal I do need a small snack to keep me even, but most days I'm fine as-is.
Have a word with your endo and see what he/she thinks...? | How can I have diabetes for 25 years and not even know that it's possible to have such reasonable after-meal bloodsugars? I definitely need to talk to my endo. I just don't know why she wouldn't have encouraged me to do this already. She says "You need to get it down", but she's not great at giving me suggestions as to how. That's nuts.
