I currently am at 22 units of Lantus and I low carb (30-50 carbs a day). I am finding that my morning BGL's are in the 60's 2 hours after eating (2 hardboiled eggs, 8 oz V8 juice for a total of 10…Continue

Jest replied to Craig's discussion 'Being Diabetic is your own fault?'"Don't know how you would know to do something about it when in my case, I was never told I was prediabetic. I went from nondiabetic to full fledged diabetic with no pre."

Jest replied to Ariel Stephani Schielke's discussion 'Guilty Pleasure'"A big hot out of the oven cinnamon roll with lots of melted butter...thank goodness I am not good with dough so this doesn't happen but once a year."
Jest replied to Cathy Jacobson's discussion 'Would you ever ask to be put on insulin, why?'"I am type 2 and take Lantus and Metformin. I have been able to continue losing weight with the Lantus. Lantus or a basal is great for the fasting bgl. I never want to give up my Lantus...LOL"
Jest replied to Jest's discussion 'C Peptide'"So I saw my endo yesterday for my yearly thyroid scan (funny to scan when there is not thyroid--it was removed due to thyroid cancer) and I talked with her about my diabetes. She said I am her star patient in that area. She thinks my low carbing is…"
Jest replied to Jest's discussion 'C Peptide'"I try to eat less than 30 gms of carbs a day but realistically that can't happen everyday because of life so I do for sure stay under 50 gms a day. You probably have to adjust your Lantus up more."
BadMoonT2 replied to Jest's discussion 'C Peptide'"Here's a couple of links to explore to see if low carb may be something you want to try. BloodSugar101 and the Bernstein Group here on tuD"
Jest replied to Doris D's discussion 'Gasterprosis'"My son has gastroparesis, not from diabetes but rather another health condition. He has been on Reglan and for a year had to have tube feeding (a GJ tube). the Tube feeding worked the best. He seemed to get better and got off the tube, now when it…"
Jest replied to Jest's discussion 'Adjusting Lantus'"Thats what I am thinking, a split dose may be the solution."
justgeo1 replied to Jest's discussion 'Adjusting Lantus'"I take a split dose of Lantus and do pretty well, but I also take Humalog to cover meals. I'm also on Amaryl and metformin to help me keep my BG's under control.
Myabe if you tried a split dose or injecting at different times of the day,…"
Jest replied to Johnben.'s discussion 'I need your help this time! by JB.'"I take Furosemide twice a day and have never noticed a increase in BGL because of it but it may act differently in different people."
DARGIRL replied to Jest's discussion 'Adjusting Lantus'"Make tiny changes and track according. Lantus is not intended to help you recover after a meal. It is a basal insulin. It may peak for a period of time. It definetly is not a straight line basal. I noted that you also mentioned a weight loss. That…"
"Good point Jen. Splitting your lantus dose in two every 24 hours may be beneficial. A lot of type 1s prefer it."
Jest replied to Jest's discussion 'Adjusting Lantus'"I was wondering if it was wearing out as the day went on. It never used to but that would make sense with what I am seeing."
