[QUOTE="jopar, post: 174164, member: 11712"] Sorry to sound a bit doubtfull, but I can't see that you are injecting Lantus 9 times a day!!! Lantus is designed to be injected once a day, some do find that it either tails off after about 18 hours or because of the differnt needs for background insulin from morning to evening, they inject twice a day to make better adjustments for covering a 24 hour period... The profile of background insulin doesn't lend itself to be repeatly injected through out the day, and repeated injecting would cause some very complex overlapping, which would stack insulin up and make control very unperdictable indeed!!!! If you are actually injecting in this maneer and not using quick acting insulin, then I suggest that you find youself a different diabetic team... If you are being treated via your GP surgery then I would asked to be refered to the hospital Consultant... If we've all got the wrong end of the stick, and you are using a mixture of background and quick, then you need to look both at your diet and your insulin dose for the carbs you are eating, as this would be far out indeed or perhaps you may have to ask your team for 500U quick acting insulin, it's not easy to get hold of as it has to come from America under an individual patient licence...
