I believe our bodies are all so different. I am a very small, tiny woman and what one unit of Humalog does to me, probably won't do for most diabetic type 1's. I use 14 units of Lantus…"
Siri replied to CJ's discussion 'Can't Believe the Improvement in my Blood Sugars!' in the group LANTUS® Or Humalog Users"Thanks again. Amazing that you´ve found out what works for you."

No No set time, the every 9 hours changes and sometimes I'm a little late for my injection time. I've been writing down my next dosage time and setting an alarm for a reminder. At first I was feeling sorry for myself having to get…"

Can't Believe the Improvement in my Blood Sugars!
HelloI have to share the fact that against my Drs. recommendations, I'm splitting my Lantus and can't believe the improvement in my blood sugars.I have not had good control for over 10 years now and my 7.2 A1C was achieved because of my constant highs and lows, nothing stable. My experience has been that most Drs. don't understand how different Type 1's are, but I see that things are changing to the better for us.Last month I had 2 nighttime lows in the 20's and my Dr continued to try and…See More
Siri replied to CJ's discussion 'Lantus: I'm pretty lost right now..what would U do?' in the group LANTUS® Or Humalog Users"I have read somewhere to not let it be more than nine hours between the Lantus you inject in the evening and the Lantus you inject in the morning if you experience the dawn phenomenon.
According to this advice my regimen is to split my Lantus 60/40…"
justgeo1 replied to CJ's discussion 'Lantus: I'm pretty lost right now..what would U do?' in the group LANTUS® Or Humalog Users"I split my dose between morning and evening so I'm always about 12 hours between shots. My endo approves this and makes sure I have syringes for 2 shots daily. It's just a matter of convincing doctors that we know what we need... :)"
Jeff Simms replied to CJ's discussion 'Lantus: I'm pretty lost right now..what would U do?' in the group LANTUS® Or Humalog Users"My son uses Levemir and splits the dosage. He uses a little less in the evening dose to help avoid lows. Do you eat a snack before you exercise? I would eat a low carb snack to avoid lows when you exercise, at least until you know exactly how much…"
