Levemir split dose peak

Hi @SBee,
I made a spreadsheet that is useful for looking at basal numbers. It lets you put in the various times and doses and also the amounts, and it shows you a graph of how the basal’s start and stop and if they are stacking, like if you have two on top of each other.

Levemir’s duration is dose dependent. The more you take (per kilogram of body weight), the longer it lasts!

We can go through this if you would like. It could be that just reducing the nighttime dose will fix it. But it could also be that your two doses are stacked.

It looks like this, here is just an example:

If you want to dig into this and don’t mind sharing dose amounts, we could plug it in so you can see how it looks.

If you don’t want to share dose amounts, I could email the spreadsheet to you (we are unable to upload spreadsheets).

The one personal issue is this…with Levemir, the duration is dose dependent, based on units/kilogram of body weight. So in order to get your duration, I would need to be rude and ask your body weight.
:shushing_face:

So if you didn’t want to do that, I could email it to you and then you could put in all the numbers yourself.

Anyway, happy to work through this with you if you’d like.
