"Thanks Siri, I've been thinking about splitting my Lantus for a while since I get midday lows and fasting highs. So if I lower my morning dose I will probably avoid those lows during the day and wake up with a decent fasting blood sugar."

KrabbyKelly replied to Josh's discussion 'Verio IQ Recall' in the group OneTouch Users"FYI, I just got off the phone with them and due to the large number of meters being recalled, the new meters are on backorder. They have no estimate as to when we will get our new meters."

KrabbyKelly commented on midwatchcowboy's blog post 'Strange short term side effect'"I don't remember every becoming nauseated, but I get a metallic taste in my mouth every time in the same timeframe you get nauseated. Doesn't happen with the Lantus I take twice daily, only the Novolog. I have both of the insulins in pen…"
KrabbyKelly replied to jriccardi's discussion 'Accu-Chek Meter/360 Software'"I use the Reli on prime as a back up for my purse and if I run out of my regular test strips and have had zero issues with it, the results tend to match how I feel and are comparable to my Verio iq meter. I was given an Accu check nano and…"
KrabbyKelly replied to Leanna's discussion 'Whats your Diabetes song?'"Some days for me it's Plumb's "I can't do this". I definately would be lost somedays without my families help! Had a nasty low glucose in the middle of the night a few nights ago and my husband woke up because I was…"
Siri replied to KrabbyKelly's discussion 'Goal for bedtime blood sugar' in the group LANTUS® Or Humalog Users"I´m type 1 using both Lantus twice a day and Novolog for meals and corrections. My experience with Lantus is that it peaks after 5-6 hours and thus can cause lows during the night if the dose is incorrect.
When you wake up sweaty, with a…"
KrabbyKelly replied to TaupeLime's discussion 'Can I safely use expired test strips?'"You probably thought of this already, but I would do a control solution check before I would use them. That said I have used strips as much as 6 months expired with success after they passed a control solution test. I don't do it often, but…"
Andy Taylor replied to KrabbyKelly's discussion 'Goal for bedtime blood sugar' in the group LANTUS® Or Humalog Users"I personally shoot 80 units of Lantus. I use Humalog as my fast actor. I have a long way to go in order to decrease my dosages. I'm not a big fan of lows."

KrabbyKelly commented on Jexans Mom's blog post 'skin issues'"I have good success with Eucerin cream. I use it on my feet and hands at night. But I would think vaseline would work well too and is probably less expensive. I had to quit using alcohol wipes for the same reason-my fingers were in horrible shape.…"
KrabbyKelly replied to KrabbyKelly's discussion 'Goal for bedtime blood sugar' in the group LANTUS® Or Humalog Users"I think I will make a call to the doctor tomorrow, I'm out of ideas. The only other thing I just thought of is I had a root canal that got infected- I am on my 3rd round of antibiotics since Thanksgiving. That may very well explain things. I am…"
KrabbyKelly replied to KrabbyKelly's discussion 'Goal for bedtime blood sugar' in the group LANTUS® Or Humalog Users"Thanks for the very understanding reply. My mother who is an uncontrolled type 2 and refuses insulin just said to me on the phone a few minutes ago-and I quote " I think if I were on insulin, I would try a little harder not to be"'.…"
Jeff Simms replied to KrabbyKelly's discussion 'Goal for bedtime blood sugar' in the group LANTUS® Or Humalog Users"sorry your having this problem. have you asked your doctor about this? 162 seems high for a morning fasting number."
