Am type 2 disabetic just been put on humalin stil taking metaformin and laragitide injection any one else on this. Started humalin at 10 to increase every 3 days is morning blood is above 10 am so far up to 14 guess looking for advice my blood is always high first think anything I can do to reduce. Blood taken before drink or breakfast
 
It is common to wake with a higher BG: this is called Dawn Phenomenon or Liver Dump.
In order to prepare for the day ahead, our liver dumps a load of glucose into our blood. If our pancreas was working properly, it would response and dump a load of insulin. Unfortunately, with diabetes, the pancreas is not so good. As a result our BG rises.

Take a look around the forum for threads about Dawn Phenomenon and you will find a number of suggestions for reducing the morning reading.

... But it unlikely to have anything to do with the Humalin.
 
Hi do you have humilyn twice a day I have found increasing my evening dose has made my morning levels a lot better I've been on humilyn and metphormin for nearly 3 years

Wouldn’t the laragitide help that as dn said it’s to help pancreas work better on 1.6 once a day
 
It could be you might benefit from an evening dose of humilyn perhaps have a word with your diabetic nurse
 
I’m on humalin I, metformin and gliclazide. I found eating something (small) before bed helps me with my levels in the morning and I don’t get a liver dump (usually!)
