Is there a minimum amount of Levemir (or Lantus) that a person should take? I'm working to get my bloodsugar's more stable during the day (i.e. not such a steep drop between meals) by reducing my Levemir. I'm definitely seeing a difference, but it still needs adjustment. Right now I take a split dose - 6 units at night and 3 in the morning. It wasn't working really well to take it all at night when I first tried it, but I don't have much room now to keep going down in the morning.....I can take it down to 2 or 1 units, and that's it.

Suggestions? Do I run the risk of taking too little basal, or as long as I'm still having these sharp drops between meals am I OK to keep reducing?

Thanks!
