Hello. I've just joined and already I've read some interesting comments from other members. I don't have any friends who are diabetic so this is a good way to 'touch base'.
I've been type 1 for aaaaaaages and have been injecting Lantus at bedtime. After the last straw night time hypo recently, I decided to inject it in the morning instead. Probably at breakfast. I'm hoping this will stop the 2.00 ish hypo and give me better control during the day. So far so good.
I've also just started to use an Aviva Expert meter. I had a few teething problems, but things seem to have settled down now. I really want this meter to work for me as it will be good to have 'advice' to rely on. I do need to get my HbA1c down a bit and I'm hoping the new meter will help.
So I would be really interested to hear different views on when to inject Lantus. Does anyone split the dose?
And views on the Aviva Expert would be interesting.
Thanks.
