We went to my husband's work colleague's BBQ yesterday and there was a man there, type 1 diabetic since being age 10, now age 23. My husband had already told me that this man drinks coke (full sugar) all day and eats anything (cakes etc).
Now this man told me yesterday that the only insulin he has is one injection of Lantus a day. He was really skinny too. Can the Lantus work, specially to cover all the sugar he's having? I would have thought he'd be really high all day? This is just from my experience with my 3 year old with Type 1 so I'm no expert. She has Mixtard30 in the morning and Lantus at night, plus Novorapid at teatime if she's high, but I know she'll move onto 4 injections a day at some point.
Anybody know any other Type 1 adults with just Lantus?
