[QUOTE="GrumpyAardvark, post: 149547, member: 28638"] Hi there I would say that you need advice on titrating your insulin, first your background (lantus) to get your fasting (before breakfast) blood glucose down, and then the bolus that you take with each meal so that you take the right amount of rapid acting insulin to bring your blood glucose down again after each meal. Before I saw that your gp us only allowing you 6 tests a month I was going to suggest testing your blood before each meal and at bedtime today to give your gp some idea what is going on (although it will have been affected by the events of the last 2 days). You're certainly going to need some more to titrate your doses. Have you had your injection technique and sites checked recently? This can also affect absorption of the insulin. See if you can get referred to the local specialist diabetes team who can help you with this. [/QUOTE]
