Ineffective BI?

Mine was 8.1%, but that was before I did DAFNE and before I changed to Levemir, so I am hoping it will have improved!

Hi, Yes I am aware that manufacturers claims don't always match their products. However in the case of medicines they are only licensed for sale after extensive testing. Hence if it says 24 hours then it 'should' last that long, if medical professionals don't comply with the instructions for use on a drug they can indeed get into trouble. Meanwhile in the real world.....

The reason I always suggest people consult their medical team is a large number of people are not confident enough to experiment with their medication on their own. They need the assistance of their medical team. If you are confident enough to do it, thats fine as well you just have to bear in mind not everyone is.

I have never used Lantus so cannot comment from direct experience but others suggest that Levemir is more flexible than Lantus for split doses, of course this will never be the case 100% of the time since we all react differently to the same drugs.

I was 11.8% before DAFNE, then went straight down to 8% after DAFNE............

I believe I need to reduce my daily carb intake to improve my levels, I went through a spell of low carbs and my between meal levels were brilliant, however trying to keep the carbs low is difficult for me..........just need to keep trying...........definitely wont get 7% or below just by following the basic principals anyway........
