Due to running a bit on the low side at night, my doctor advised me to change the timing of my long acting insulin. I was taking Lantus (7units) at 9 pm and over a week have changed from 9pm to 9am. I felt like this drastic time change would be hard on me so I changed gradually by taking 6 units at night then 1 in the morning, then 5 units at night 2 in the morning etc until all 7units at 9 am. I am now 1 week into the time change and have felt rubbish. Two days ago I had a mild hypo during the day that would not normally have not affected me very much, but it knocked the stuffings out of me for two days. I feel like it was a mistake to change the timing and wonder if it is better to go back as before or wait it out to see if I feel better. Any advice from those who have made this sort of big time change would be helpful.
