Let me clarify this. I usually wake up around 70-140 lately taking Levemir at 6pm 8units. I do not take Novolog as I am in my honeymoon and have been too sensitive to it even at 1:80 etc. So, I just watched carbs (30/meal) and took no fast acting as I would be where I needed to be 2 hours post prandial. Except at dinner I eat about 40-100carbs because I will typically drop about 150-250 points at night, so I dont go to bed under 230 or so. (I know) That is why I reduced the Levemir and think it is time for Novolog with meals. I have lost about 10lbs by restricting carbs, and now my after meal numbers are not decreasing like they were with just the levemir. I really cant afford to loose ten pounds. Hoping I can take Novolog with dinner now, and go to bed at a normal number, thus having to reduce the Levemir to compensate going to bed at a normal 140 I hope. Follow me? And, the question of why did I check after 45min, the answer to that is that I could feel it drop those 83pts. Novolog 1unit in the beginning(9mo ago) would drop me 287 points in 5 hours. My doctor insists that the levemir does NOT need to be split. ??? I am not sure what I think, as if I skip a meal, my BS will ALWAYS go lower and lower.
