Thanks to you both for replying - I think the two doses work best for me as it stops the mid afternoon rise I was getting after taking one shot at 7pm... Onwards and er... well not upwards hopefully!

Hi all, Those of you that use lantus and get on well with it - do you have one shot a day or do you split into two doses? Trying to work out which of the two is better for me. I get slightly better control with two shots but I feel much healthier and more with it with one shot....! ANy...

Thanks Dennis - I have started having omelettes for brekkie (made with cream) and they taste **** good so long may that continue!!

Hi all, Those of you out there that do the truly low carb thing, whats your view on eating eggs daily - say two per morning for an omelette? Would two of these a day not be considered as bad fats? Thanks Paul

Hi Fergus, A quick question as I am still considering splitting the lantus units between am/pm (currently only pm). Did you find doing this you had to drop your units a little as your body made better use of the insulin and not reject as much due to smaller dosages? Also I presume my...

Thanks Timo and Jay. I play footie saturdays so I will wait until next week and give it a go then so it has time to settle before the following weekend. Will report back with my findings! Once again much appreciated. Paul

Thanks everyone for all the info. I am getting the sugars in the right range now and as you all say it looks like a bit of fine tuning should do the trick. If I split 20 units to 10 & 10 im worried that I might drop low as theoretically my body should make better use of the insulin. Timo...

Hi, An example today: 6.3 before lunch 5.3 Mid Afternoon Now 7.3 Would you suggest I need to change Lantus as it has increased slightly an hour before next one (as per Sarah's post)?

Hi Sarah, Mine works effectively at the moment so if there is no benefit to be had from splitting it then I will leave it as is for now. Im not due to see them again until Jan (once yearly) so I will ask the question then and see what their response is. Many thanks

Hi all, I have been reading Bernstein's book and would like to know from others that have tried it before what the effect is on your blood sugars when you split your daily Lantus (long lasting insulin) dose from one injection to two. Did anyone experience lower sugars, higher sugars etc? I...

Hi all, I have been using Lantus for a number of years now and it seems not too bad for me. What have other people experienced on Lantus? Im obviously keen to see if there is anything similar to what I may or may not have experienced myself? Many thanks Paul

Hi dietfizzy, Different people react in different ways but my body automatically wakes me up in the night if my blood sugars are low as it is obviously not getting the right sugar level it needs to be able to allow me to sleep as i should. What are your sugars like before bed and in the...

Hi Ally, Some advice on football for BS would be appreciated (type 1). My sugars beforehand are usually around 7 but within 30 mins they increase up to 16 or so and I struggle with my energy levels. Im thinking of taking additional insulin with the meal before training or a match (an hour...

Nellie, You a star! As per the article it's once a week training and once a week match so I will trial these out over the next couple of weeks. Many thanks Paul

Hi all, I need some desperate assistance with this.. I play football and have done every season for the past 20 years (since being diagnosed type 1) and this is the only thing that really plays havoc with my BS control. Pre season has just started and im feeling the effects from this over the...

Re: Diabetes & alcohol Thanks lianrampant - got an all day sesh next week at ascot so I will give it a go then!

Re: Diabetes & alcohol Hi all, Just picked up on this thread and I like others now realise that beer/lager is not the way forward due to largely increased sugar levels for a few days after a night out. Has anyone actually tested a night out on just say vodka & diet coke. How does it affect...
