[QUOTE="nickgv1, post: 480895, member: 71878"] Hi gaffer, sorry to hear about your hypo's. I take lantus solostar and metfomin. You don't mention how much lantus you're taking but i would suggest reducing the amount gradually until you're not getting the hypos. I know my bs can vary quite a lot day to day depending on the amount of exercise i'm getting and what i've eaten on that day. I do get hypo's but i try and fly close to the wind with my bs as the amount if exercise i get day to day can vary. I do my best with my diet and try to stay low carb most of the time but sometimes i fall off the wagon :( However, i do monitor my bs a lot so i'm usually aware if i'm heading for a hypo so i can compensate for it. i can't explain why you're having hypos regularly but obviously even though lantus is slow acting it will start acting immediatly at some level. If your bs is already dropping it may just be enough to push you into a hypo. Like i say keep monitoring your bs and try reducing the lantus a bit see how it goes. Thats all I can offer from my perspective of lantus hope its of some help Nick [/QUOTE]
