Hi and how are you doing I hope everything's going well. I just wanted to add that I to take Lantus at night and I use a 6 mm needle on my Flex pen. My regular dose is 38 units and sometimes I feel a little bit of burning so I think that's normal hope you found this helpful

I'm sure you know that it takes anywhere between 1 to 2 hours before Lantus even starts working. I would consult my doctor about increasing your Lantus dose. How the matter of the spikes are you waiting 15 minutes after your bolus before eating. I fine waiting 15 minutes before you eat help stop...

Have you ever considered going on a pump

Yeah it's pretty much insulin and a pancreas pounder don't go together usually you use one or the other and if you have insulin resistance then something like metformin goes well with insulin

It happens. I'm glad thing's turned out ok. I'm a little late putting my two cents in but the decision to eat the extra carbs right on and holding off on the Lantus for about two maybe three hours is perfect. Lantus doesn't kick in for at least one to two hours And it has no peak time.

I personally use novolog fast acting insulin for mealtime boluses and use Lantus for my overnight basil. But on these two types of insulin for 21 years, works great for me. Fiasp is fast acting and you can eat right away, no waiting.

I agree you should see an endocrinologist

I don't know but maybe you're rolling over on the tubing and pinching off your supply of insulin just a guess

Sometimes you just need to wait it out and see

No me neither I don't have a problem with them staying on I use the I forget what it's called but it's a patch you put around the sensor to help hold it on and it stays on for the full 10 days no matter what I do so you might want to look for that

I got mine from eBay and I like it it's made out of Velcro and easy to put on and take off

I'm new with the insulin pump but from what I understand and I'm no doctor that insulin on board means that the insulin you took from your last bolus is still active however it's there he keeps you from stacking so if you have a t Slim there are tutorial videos on YouTube but your best answer...

Hi I was just reading your reluctance about metformin and I've been taking metformin for years. It is the safest insulin resistant drug out there and once you get the dose Set right it will help you. However it is not a weight loss drug, but holding down weight is a benefit.
