Hi all,
I had a dietician appointment on Wednesday and we discussed that I'm unhappy with Lantus. After observing my readings she thinks it could be possible that my basal needs changing. In order to determine this I need to do a carb free/no bolus test. On separate days I need to eat a carb free breakfast/lunch/dinner and inject no bolus to see if my basal keeps my glucose even. I'm really nervous to do this, firstly I've previously suffered from Diabulmia and I'm worried not injecting may trigger something and secondly I'm worried as I know that if I don't give myself bolus despite the meal being carb free my sugars will rocket.
Has anyone done this test before? How did you get on with it?
