Glad it went well, at least you knew how and what to expect as far as the needle stick goes. That first insulin injection is un-nerving but you get use to the idea pretty fast.
Most doctors will start you on a conservative dose of Levemir and most people do require that amount to be raised. That was the case with me as the amount continued to rise I became concerned about how much I was taking. I asked my doctor and he told me that as long as my bg wasn't going low that you cannot take to much insulin.
Please keep us posted on your progress.
