I'm feeling at my wits end right now, the lantus seems to be working ok but I can't seem to get Zara down before bed the last few days she has been 18 even 20 at night.
The nurses are driving me crazy as they feel getting her down lower in the day will achieve a lower profile through the day but I personally feel getting her down at night would give her a better start in the morning therefore better through the day as there is no more room for exta insulin in the day as her correction is 20-1. They think possibly more lantus but again she already drops from these high teens to 8mmol. It's all a real mess, there is one nurse that is the one I prefer to deal with but can only get hold her twice a week. Feeling very deflated. How are you finding injecting before meals? Is it changing anything for you? Xxx
