How about splitting the Levemir into 2 doses you will prob find you will have a lot better coverage with it.
Hmm...so maybe one at night and one at around lunch time? I suppose I could try that...but heh I don't even want to count how many injections a day this is getting up to.

Hehe I remember having that thought myself...

Now I take up to 10 injections a day. Geez, sometimes more! I just don't care - because it feels so good to have good tight control, and I'm so used to the needles I don't feel a thing. I'd take more if I had to.

How about you - do you care about an extra jab if you offers you better control? If it's a problem, don't split your basal - but if you don't mind, split away! It works for pretty much everyone who tries it (as far as I've seen so far anyway) and I would totally suggest it to anyone.

Did your insulin go bad? How long have you been using each vial? How do you store them?

Fats, such as butter tend to carry the carbs longer. Try "dialing back" on that and see what happens.
