| tips for splitting basal dose
Hi, was hoping for some advice.
I'm on Levemir 21 units at the moment taking it at 5pm (has been as high as 23 over xmas when I was getting fat and lazy)
I've got this problem with lows at night/early morning 3am-7am, followed by what I think is a rebound, so I tend to get a high lunch time, and then a hole starting around 4pm where basal and my lunchtime bolus insulin run out together - sometimes annoyingly preceded by a mild hypo. Although if a 20 hour duration is right maybe it's running out around lunchtime hence the high, and I'm actually only covered by the dregs of my bolus from 4pm onwards, hence the feeling that it seems to take an hour at least for my basal injection to fire up and start working.
To smooth this out I was thinking of splitting the dose.
2/3 evening time
1/3 first thing in the morning
does this sound about right? or do I want to go for a 12 hour split? Or would a 50:50 split be better? And are there split times that would work better?
might have to do a properly test my basal - I hate going hungry (",)  |
