Daisy Mae replied to musichopin's discussion 'What should i do in order to beat "Dawn Phenomenon"'"i suggest going on the pump. it is the only solution i found to those pesky morning highs. i increase my midnight basal and wake up in the 100s, eat bkfst around 5 -6 am(eggs, always, with a piece of buttered toast) and then i go bk to sleep. why…"
musichopin replied to musichopin's discussion 'What should i do in order to beat "Dawn Phenomenon"'"i just injected 25 units of levemir instead of 31 units of insulatard through sleeping and 10 units at midnight. let's see what will happen. and thanks for the chart. however, in my opinion regular human insulins ( such as actrapid i guess) and…"
otter replied to musichopin's discussion 'What should i do in order to beat "Dawn Phenomenon"'"Your NPH (insultard) dose at midnight might actually be causing you to go low around 5-6am... thus you are maybe getting a rebound high in the morning? What about trying an earlier does of NPH (if you want to stick with it) 6-7pm .. see what it…"
acidrock23 replied to musichopin's discussion 'What should i do in order to beat "Dawn Phenomenon"'"is a chart I've found useful to consider how the insulin works. I took NPH 1984-2008 and generally split doses, having about 2/3 in the AM and 1/3 in the PM to provide all day coverage. I had ok BG results (6ish A1C much of the time, although…"
JamesUK replied to musichopin's discussion 'Diabetes and Kidney Failure'"The next question would be will it be obvious from blood tests when the kidney function starts to decrease.
Are you going to know when a high-ish protein diet does need changing?"
musichopin replied to musichopin's discussion 'What should i do in order to beat "Dawn Phenomenon"'"thanks but i already inject it through sleeping :)"
Brian (bsc) replied to musichopin's discussion 'What should i do in order to beat "Dawn Phenomenon"'"That is exactly what I am talking about. Rather than taking it at 7pm, you can take the NPH/Levemir before bed. It is best to take it at the same time every day."
musichopin replied to musichopin's discussion 'What should i do in order to beat "Dawn Phenomenon"'"you mean doing injection about 7 pm by evening? then i would not still avoid from morning highs i guess.
i found this, so confused a bit:
"NPH has a shorter action and more peaking than Lantus or Levemir.This can be useful at times. For…"
Brian (bsc) replied to musichopin's discussion 'What should i do in order to beat "Dawn Phenomenon"'"The best answer is to consult your doctor with the change. Roughly you would expect each unit of NPH and Levemir will act the same, but they will act over a different time frame. If you take one shot a day of basal (Levemir), take it in the evening,…"
musichopin replied to musichopin's discussion 'What should i do in order to beat "Dawn Phenomenon"'"thanks for the info. i got levemir at home and i might try tonight, but each unit of levemir equals to insultard?
and how many units of levemir should i do in the morning? i never did long acting insulin in the morning."
Brian (bsc) replied to musichopin's discussion 'What should i do in order to beat "Dawn Phenomenon"'"For those that don't know, Insultard is the name for NPH human insulin in many parts of the world.
My experience is that Darn Phenomenon (DP) can be dealt with by getting a proper insulin level overnight. It is likely that one key way of…"

musichopin posted a discussioni wake up at midnight for 15 years in order to beat "Dawn Phenomenon"
i got this formula years ago for the morning highs. i tried not to wake up and see what would happen, but then my morning blood sugar has increased to even 300-350 range.it is really hard to wake up at midnight especially if you are tired but i have no solution, otherwise.by the way i use insulatard, but passing through levemir would not mind in my opinion since they have simular efficiency time.generally if my blood sugar is okay at midnight, i inject 10 units of insulatard and in the morning…See More

Natali said… - You should know that I created the NGO "Georgian Union of Patients with Diabetes" focusing on protecting the patients right and education program for them... The diabetes healthcare system is very difficult in Georgia and patients can not effort all necessary... We will have our website very soon and you is able to see it. How is the situation regarding diabetes cure, management and care in Turkey?

Catherine Jane Vancak said… - Hey! Thanks for the add.
I try to do low carb. I think it's a smart idea. I just finished reading dr. Bernsteins book and really want to go that far but I love cereal too much. For now I have 2 servings of starch and 2 of fruit so that's 60 minimum for carbs. Sometimes I add some dairy on that to make it 80g per day. I eat very little because of dance and my goal is to keep my a1c under 5.5. Right now I'm 4.9 so if I can do that and still enjoy my cereal I will!!! Do you low carb?
