I was diagnosed Type 1 a year ago and I have managed to keep my BG stable on very low doses of Levemir and Novorapid - I take 4 units of Levemir at bedtime and between 2 to 4 units at meals (I tend to work on a carb ratio of 20 carbs to 1 unit Novorapid). I do not give correction injections if my BG is high between meals as even 1 unit of Novorapid without food would cause too severe BG drop for me.

I wonder if you are eating enough carbohydrate at each meal - for breakfast I eat 60g carb, for lunch 40g and dinner between 60 - 100g carb. If I was on a low carb diet, I would be in the same position as you, in finding that even 1 unit Novorapid would be too strong for me, but because I am on insulin, I was told that 50% of each of my meals should be carbohydrate. If you raised the level of carbohydrate in each meal I think you might tolerate a small dose of Novorapid, your weight problem would resolve and you would not need to split Levemir (and could perhaps reduce the level of Levemir)? Just my thoughts from my own personal experience of being very sensitive to insulin - good luck in finding a solution to your problem.
