If you are high at all hours, you will need to raise the slow dose.
Levemir is usually put twice a day, the lantus, only one.
Sometimes it is enough to change the Lantus schedule so that the control goes well.My daughter came very well to wear the lantus in the morning.

Hello refine, with Lantus I already tried everything, I gave it to me x the morning later I changed at night and at the end at noon and I never had good values, I even gave it to myself 2 times a day but nothing.The bad thing is that with Levemir I have not improved much either ... I am very discouraged

Levemir's advantage is that being 2 doses it covers you better 24 hours since some people do not cover 23 hours.

@Alita tell us a little like your values ​​so that we can help you.Are you high all day?Before or after meals?

Alita, and have you raised the bomb? That would be the sullion, pkrque the programs by sections and you already have detected in which you need more insulin.

In Uruguay, the bomb and inputs are very expensive, and no health system x is covered what is very difficult to use ...

@Alita If these are always high you should rule out that you suffer the "Somogy effect" that is, you have low unnoticed that produce rebounds.Try to measure you at dawn to see what values ​​you walk, if you go down, try to lower the dose of the night of the night.If on the contrary you are high then that you have to climb the dose.See little by little, 1 in 1 unit, and wait a couple of days before making changes again.Ideally, you get up with fasting glycemia that is around 100 mg/dl.
Once you have regulated the night you can focus on adjusting the levemir dose for the rest of the day.

@Alita I understand you perfectly, it is desperate to not get acceptable control when one puts everything on your part.But do not worry, surely with a little patience I soon give the right pattern.
