OK, I'm down to 4 units of Levemir in the morning (from 7). I've also started taking my Levemir 12 hours apart (6:30 and 6:30 instead of 11pm and 7am).

I was too high this morning, and have been for the last few mornings. I think I'm going to have to raise my nighttime Levemir if I'm lowering my morning one. Seems to have an effect.

So I woke up around 14mmol/L (250mg/dL) this morning, took 1 unit of Humalog as soon as I checked, but didn't eat for about an hour yet, at which point I took another 6 units. I also took 4 units of Levemir. (Took 5 units last night around 7:00pm.) I had about 40g of carbs for breakfast (3 low-fat Eggos) and then walked 20 min to work.

At 9:30am, 2.5 hours after eating, I was 8 mmol/L (150mg/dL). This is great, right? Well, I'm convinced I'm still going to drop this morning. It's been dropping after breakfast and after lunch all week, even since I've reduced my Levemir I'm going to check again in a bit and post what my bloodsugar is.

So, can someone who was giving me advice on here re: reducing Levemir (which I think makes a TON of sense) give me some advice on what seems to still be going wrong?

Or maybe I'll prove myself wrong and still be 8 (150) next time I check. Here's hoping!

Thx.
