I use 9 units I was told last for 18 hours-in me they last 19 hours.

I take it about 9pm, before bed (hmmmmm, 9 units at 9), and it stops working about 4pm. It covers my afternoon snack. Then for dinner, because I am fairly active at night,I take humalog (about 4 units), which is a fast acting insulin.

that lasts me until I take levemir. I usually wake up with a BS of 5. (thats in canadian measurements). If I don't have all the running around and am not active after dinner, I take a larger dose of humalog.
