Aww, aren't they good companions? And yes, it must be bloody off-pissing. OTOH you got through it Tim. Tim 1, Bloody Lantus 0.That's it, into the fours and trending up. God only knows where I'll wake up, but I'll probably still be accompanied by these two....
That evening lantus shot that didn't precipitate properly and dumped you into a sharp hypo before bed so that you are hanging around at midnight managing your blood sugar. Grrr.
@noblehead Already taken the step. Have a clinic appointment on 7th January to go and demand Tresiba (as my GP felt out of his comfort zone changing the insulin). Fed up to the back teeth of it.
Up until Lantus came out, I was using Insulatard and it's only been in the past few months that I've observed the Lantus issue (or at least consciously observed it). As we've discussed on another topic, I think it's related to weight loss and fat reduction.
I am looking forward to the appointment...!
Unfortunately, my bum has as little subcutaneous fat as my thighs do these days (based on the skinfold tests I've had done). Been spending too much time in the gym and reducing body fat!Where do you inject your lantus, try injecting it in your bum if you don't do so already. Good luck on the 7th of January.

Yes, agreed, however, most of the hypos I'd noticed took place in the morning with my split dosing. I've had a lot of experience of handling reduced amounts in the evening as I used to cycle home from work and the exercise hangover/insulin speed absorption would last from about 7.30pm to midnight. Had a few fun ones with that too, but at least it was obvious what was going on and wasn't the same kind of "Lantus Landslide" I've since seen.If your active in an evening (as in working out using your legs) and injecting basal in there this might explain your hypo's, exercise increases blood flow to the area so accelerates the rate in which insulin is absorbed.

The fluffy fat one has a bad habit at the weekend of jumping on the bed and bashing me on the chest at about five am because she thinks it's breakfast time.... Because that's when it is during the week.Aaawww
We have three of them. They have the posh breed names of "Domestic Long Hair" and "Domestic Short Hair", or "Moggie". The long haired one hates being groomed and has to be done in a cat muzzle or she bites your hand while you are trying to do it. Given what her mother was like, we think she's a Maine Coon cross.My daughter's cat Pebbles like's to meow outside my bedroom door, because she just know's mum will eventually get up, and then I get lots of greeting chirping, patting me with her paws, licking my hands,I do try to ignore her, but for some reason I can't
What breed are they? I bet they need lots of brushing and coat trimming
