Go figure.
Unusual insulin protocol that is working ...
T1.5 has its quirks ... and so does Levemir! I have been experimenting with Levemir's peak to see what works. And this has worked, for a couple weeks, anyhow
8U Levemir plus 2U Novolog at bedtime (I am in the 120's then) ... 3 more U Lev at 8 am ... 3U Novo with (low carb) lunch at 9 am ... repeat. Now, dinnertime used to be my highest need, and I used to have to use 4 - 5U Novo to cover my (still low-carb) dinner, and with varying success, then.
I have said before, once I go high, it is much harder to correct, but this is ... so unusual, I felt I should remark on it. Get the basal right, and the bolus apparently does follow (I do recall reading this somewhere ;-)) ... with this pattern, I wake in the low 90's and my pp peaks are maybe in the 120 - low 130's. This has worked for a couple of weeks, now.
