Interesting. Well yes, probably all insulin sensitivity is enhanced a lot. But the real problem here was that Lantus was working very quick, like those dreaded Lantus lows, when it's working as ultra rapid insulin. Honestly, I didn't know vitamins were such a big deal.

Well, it's just one multi-vitamin pill. I agree that taking it in via nutrition is the best plan. I haven't taken the vitamin pill today.

Hi all! I have had fairly consistent Lantus reaction for a long time now. Yesterday I started taking vitamin pills again, like for a new years resolution, and sugar has been pretty great to deal with regarding food and boluses, in terms of not needing much of boluses. My Lantus has brought me...

What probably happened here was your lantus working much faster than normal (malabsorption), possibly due to the shower. It has happened to me as well. I have stopped showering right before or after taking lantus. Blood vessels are bigger after a shower, which increase blood stream around the...

No, I am not sure if I am eligible to do so, as I am not a UK citizen. :)

I am using small part each side of the bum, plus a couple of spots in the stomach. But why don't they describe further. Do they think it's a myth that lantus can work as fast acting even if not injected obvious in a vein or muscle, just being unlucky and hitting a bad place with a few small...

I think they should've described if it's "not working" or"working as fast acting" if it happens to encounter some blood. It's pretty essential information.

I have been experiencing severe lantus hypos 30-40 minutes after injecting. If I see some blood coming out after injecting, I might be in trouble. This is taking up my whole morning routine, as I need to be ready to get my crash stash at any minute. It's not that I'm injecting into muscles or...

How are you doing on levemir now vs lantus?

I had to take another read through this thread. Today it happened to me again, with the lantus. It was bad. I had a good fasting sugar, but it quickly dropped to under 2,9mmol after taking lantus. I was looking for it to happen, and I also ate breakfast without bolusing, just in case. It can't...

What difference would it make to take the morning dose in two or three shots instead of one shot, to minimize the risk of hypo? And wouldn't injecting smaller doses in two 2cm adjacent spots make absorption better?

Is it true that if I shoot Tresiba in a vein, or if it mixes with blood, it will not work as fast acting?

This was interesting to read. I am aware that this post is 40 weeks old, but I think this is the right place to write up my post. I've had occasional bad drops after having some blood oozing out after injecting lantus. This is a real big issue to me, because it'll need a 200+ carb fix. Therefor...

Interesting. Did you change to levemir and start low carb at the same time, or did you have any lagtime between? What did you experience? And what happens if you go for a short walk after bolusing 1,5u, will it crash totally?

Hi, I was looking for a way to connect. I am pretty new here, and can't find any private messaging. Do you know if such thing exists on this forum?

Hi. Yes, the anxiety is very dependent on how much insulin you have to take. And also when sugar is declining slooowly but surely, that's a better feeling, than when it goes steady up. Nice to hear that someone else has the same doses of insulin as me without having to eat themselves into...

Thanks. Looks like he is asking a lot on that blog, but without any much facts to the table. I might have to just eat slightly little more and take more 0,5 units, and also maybe eat more protein.

AtkinsMo, thanks

Hi Torq! Nice to see you here as well. Yep, I try to be there. They are my main priority. I see the mental thing, but I am not sure what triggers what. I have used to think that my main anxiety problem is being triggered by that I don't dare to take too much insulin, because of the sudden drops...

Thank you!
