[QUOTE="Scarysugarmary, post: 1263640, member: 337230"] I am now a pump user but was on Lantus (& novo rapid) for many years. When I initially took it I had no problems but when I injected it at night, I have over many years (been diabetic 19 years) had hidious hypos resulting in 999 call outs and many hospital trips. I tried switching the dose to the mornings as my theory was I was awake and could catch my hypos (that also didn't work many times and resulted in a new front tooth as face planting on concrete is not recommended!), however I did switch to splitting the Lantus (9:30am and 9:30/10pm) which seemed to work pretty well. I was on around 20units and did 14 in the morning and 6 at night. As someone said, (and [USER=303754]@snowleopard[/USER] shows)they claim it works consistently over a 24hour period but I also did not find this the case. However with splitting it, my issues were vastly reduced. My sister, also a type 1 diabetic, on the same medication also split her Lantus but never had quite the issues I had! Hopefully your new meds will get it all sorted, just may take a little tweaking to get the levels right! Good luck [emoji106] [/QUOTE]
