I see the confusion
If I understand you, you think Levemir is used for carbohydrates. Levemir is a basle insulin, meaning it works for 24 hours. Like a background insulin. the amount of Levemir taken has nothing to do with the amount of carbohydrates (carbs) you eat. That type of insulin is called a bolis insulin, like Apedra, Novalog... that insulin is taken according to how many carbs are eating and YOUR particular carb to insulin ratio.
It was working well for a year. Then blood was becoming high, Doctor gave me LEVEMIR. If I take 10 units of humalog, after two hours sugar drops 4 points, I think this is the right dose for humalog for what I eat. I eat 60 gram Carb every meal. But 3 hours, sugar tries to go low, but insead, it bounces back and proceede to values and I start to feel hypo, though I never see sugar 9. It is not hypo value, why sugar bounces up, why feel shaky, fear etc. I use LEVIMIR as base insulin.
The Levemir is NOT on a sliding scale. It is a given does once a day Or twice a day. 12 hours apart.
is his 224 after eating or first thing in the morning before food or drink?
When you eat, you need the fast acting insulin like Novolog to act quickly to cover the meal. For some, Lantus and Levemir act the same. For me, Levemir seemed to work better in that it provided more consistency to my blood sugar levels. I like Levemir. I have switched to 2 shots per day (morning and night) instead of just taking the 1 shot at night, because the 1 shot at night may not cover the 24 hours.
I have recently changed to new insulin. I am now taking Levemir in the morning and at night taking Apidra. Since I have changed to this insulin my blood sugar is going upby alot. I was at 176 this morning and within a few hours it was at 296. This has never happened before and I have not changed anything in my eating. Why is it going up so much and how can I make this stop?

I am an insulin dependant diabetic. I was out of Levemir for several days and I tried to control with Novolog. Wednesday and Thursday I was running over 600. Yesterday I got my Levemir and started taking it right away. It took most of the day to get down to 350. I was feeling real sick all day. Sleepy, dizzy, nauseous. muscle weakness. I slept from 6:00 pm until 10:00 am. My numbers were up to 500 again. I got them back to 300 by 3:00 pm, but have continued to feel just as sick.
I have type 2 diabetes (2 yrs). My A1C is 7.6 I am presently using Levemir Flex Pen (22) before bed. I take synthroid for hypothyrodism (10 yrs) and recently started taking crestor for high cholesterol (which is now within normal range) I 58, female and over-weight. Question: I want to start taking 200 mcg of chromium picolinate to help with my diabetes. Is this safe to take with the medications I am currently taking? Also, when is the best time to take it.
Some people do think that Lantus insulin causes some patients to gain weight, while the new Levemir insulin apparently does not do this. I read some articles about this just yesterday and was surprised, for I take Lantus and have noticed no weight gain at all. So this could be a factor.
However, a change in metabolism in middle age probably is the real culprit, along with possibly a slower metabolism because you are not eating. Exercise should help both problems. Start walking!
t giving him any the lantus people wants me on toujeo cause their patent was coming up so they stopped sampling it!!!! He offered me a levemir sample he said it had less weight gain than lantus and was the same., plus the levemir company still samples, I have been on this stuff for three weeks, I don't feel sluggish after taking it, I feel great, and the pen is nice!
Today for example, I have a turbo charged car and this guy wanted to race me. The first race j could feel my left arm getting tingley, the second race both arms and the third race my face shortness of breath and the infamous I'm going to kick the bucket feeling. I got my butt home and calmed down ate lunch and got back to work. I knew for the rest of the day that it was going to hit me hard and it did. right before work ended, I started getting dizzy and out of it.
It was working so well for me previously. I went to a new endo about a year ago, and he suggested I try Levemir instead of the Lantus. Once I started the Levemir, I noticed a marked improvement with more consistent bg levels. I am a Type 1 diagnosed at 33, and I am 10 years into the disease. I take sliding Humalog and 12 U Levemir at bed. I hope this helps.
I race bicycles, and after every race i feel pretty good, legs burn a little and the lungs are heavy but overall pretty good. I go walk around and watch the other races but once i get in the car and start to relax i get very tired. Like i should i usually sleep on the way home/when i get home but once i wake up im VERY sore and cranky (pretty normal but ***** when you have school the day after a race).
I think folks older than you who grew up before the civil rights movement made real progress have a reaction to people of a different race...I don't mean just black/white.
So, my experience may not help in any way as you are, I assume, much younger, say under 30 today. Still, I will offer that to notice another person is a different race is not being racist. Even feeling uncomfortable and doubtful that you can communicate is not being a racist.
It is time for Corrupt Al and Jesse to start to worry about the genocide of the black race by the black race. White people are not trying to kill off the black race, but the black race is doing it's best to.
If the facts come out that Officer Wilson was assaulted by Brown, OH can you find a stat of police officers assulted in the US?
Well said, as always tom. Im always impressed by home,much knowledge you picked up while you were dealing with your condition.
If i may i was bored tonight and typed up an absurdly long and detailed explanation! If you choose to read it be warned, its excessive. Maybe itll help someone though, who knows.
In terms of avnrt.. A good analogy would be to imagine a race car track.
Well call it the avnrt speedway.
On the avnrt speedway there is only 1 lane to travel on..
