Hi, I'm currently on 7 units of basal insulin (lantus) per day. I'm finding my evening readings are always high which in turn leads me to get up high so I'm constantly on the back foot from the word go. This evening I had my evening meal and injected my fast acting (1:10)
My reading before eating was 5.3 however I'm now 10.6 some 3 hours later and I know I will wake up at a similar number - probably no less than 8.0.
Does anyone think splitting my basal would be beneficial ? I'm concerned that as soon as I put 4 units in for the day that I'll be high all day. Would it be worth injecting my usual 7 in the morning and then another small dose on the evening ?
