as a bit of history: last night i had a hypo at 9.30pm. was 65 mg/dl (3.61 mmol), had a cup of milk. this morning, FBG at 9.15am was 116 (6.4). i'm trying to get into IF so only injected Lantus 8u (as per daily/most effective dosage as per basal test). but for some reason i was feeling rather...

Hi all I was diagnosed with type1 about 3 months ago and was put on slow release Lantus-24 units at breakfast and 3 X Apidra a day -12 units. Since then I reduced my dose to 22 Lantus and 10 Apidra, later on about 4 weeks ago the nurse had told me to take 18 Lantus and then 9,7 and then 8 units...

I have recently changed from Lantus to Toujeo but I am now bombing high and low it’s rediculous so I want to go back to Lantus but I was taking it around 10pm and got hypos at 2/3an I was thinking of trying around 7pm then I can eat 15g carbs before bed (around midnight) does anyone else do...

I read in passing a post by @donnellysdogs where she said she was taking two basals, but can’t find it anywhere to refer to, so thought I’d ask the hive mind rather them PM her in case it’s useful to anyone else. You may recall I’ve mentioned before that I seem to be quite insulin resistant in...

Hi all, any advice on doses of tresiba would be great. I am on lantus but changing on Tuesday. I take 27u at the moment but believe the new insulin works for circa 48hrs. Does this require a different type of does or time of day to take it? Thanks Keith

I was diagnosed LADA last August and put on lantus and novorapid. In my consultant appointment in October they told me it was normal to feel exhausted because my body was adjusting to sugar levels of <10 rather than >30, but something just didn't feel right. I upped my vitamins, reduced carbs...

Hi All, I know I should ask the doctor but we will talk to him in 6 weeks and would like to be ready then to discuss this with him.... My son was diagnosed only on Saturday; discharged from hospital today. When diagnosed his BG was over 30. HBA1C was 11% (or 97 mmol/mol (normal between...

Hi guys I was diagnosed in September 2016, the hospital started me on 6 units of Lantus. As of today I’m currently on 16.5 units, I’m using a juniorstar lantus insulin pen. The thing is my Lantus doses are needing to be increased quite often, resulting in crazy high numbers. I’ve heard...

It’s been 3 years since I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 16, everything was going fine until last September when I went into DKA. Since then it’s not been the same, I’ve had to change from levemir to Lantus as I was having allergic reaction so for some reason. But now I’ve been...

I've been type 1 since december 89. Nearly 30 years. My injection sites have had it. Back in the day we had big needles and the research was in its infancy. Now the care is much better to start with. I get up in the morning with a blood sugar of 6, I have a cup of tea, it shoots up to 15, I have...

As I posted elsewhere, I am a Type 2 of long standing (16 years) who went on a LC diet in June and has so far shed 13kg. I was on 36 unites of Lantus and about ten units of Novorapid when I started and two metformin a day. Consultations with the diabetic nurse (who has not objected to my diet)...

Hi, I have only been diagnosed a month now with Type 1, I am on Novo rapid and also Lantus at night. I am supposed to be going to a concert tonight but I am worried about when I should take my Lantus Insulin, I normally take it at 9pm every night but I think that I will be right in the swing of...

Hi all, So my whole life I have never had to use the toilet at night (apart from the later months of my pregnancy - which I think is understandable!) Anyway, after being diagnosed last week there have been quite a few nights when I am now waking up to go for a wee! This has never happened...

Before few month i had gone to hospital to my complete body checkup. Then Sr MD physician doctor suggested me, you can stop the Mixtard insulin (i.e Fast acting) and Increase the dose of Lantus insulin. So you have to take only one time insulin in whole days. But i donot find any logic in his...

I know that there have been short studies done about the link of cancer to Lantus but those were done in 2009 and 2010. They seemed to be conducted on patients that only had been taking Lantus for up to 2.9 years My father has Diabetes and has just been diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. He has...

Hi everyone. So yesterday a weird thing happened. I measured my BG before going to bed (6.2 mmol), injected myself with 9 units of lantus, had a little snack (a slice of bread) and wanted to go to bed. However, rougly 30 minutes later I felt that something was wrong and when I measured my BG it...

Greetings! I found this website while researching Lantus and joint pain. I suppose I have been on Lantus 15 units at night for about 6 months. For the last 2 months, I have been experiencing hip/joint pain in the socket. Doesn't help that I have arthritis in them but this is unusual. So I...

Hey all, I'm a Type 1 diabetic who for the past 4-5 years have been fighting a constant battle with the before bed BG and the waking up BG. I'm currently on Lantus and take 18 units which has been reduced since i was first diagnosed 12 years ago. The issue i have if i go to bed with a BG of say...

Hello everyone. I'm a type 1 on shots Lantus + Novorapid for 24 years, I managed my diabetes well (latest A1C 6.2%) till this point. In the past 2 weeks my Lantus just stopped working. Sugar steadily rises in between meals. I'm in damage control mode, very strict diet (mainly boiled white rice...
