[QUOTE="amandeep, post: 438705, member: 22573"] My brother has type 1, he takes lantus at about lunch time and when we have to test how much of lantus is enough, we test in the early morning at about 4am and again before having breakfast. if its the same that means the lantus is enough and if its increasing then we increase the lantus dose until the sugar level at both 4am and 8am is the same or similar. Humalog is then injected with each meal according to what is being eaten. When he started taking lantus, he took it at night but he had hypos during the night and the sugar level was high in the evenings so we shifted it to lunch time. I think the lantus works for a bit less than 24 hours so the sugar level used to go up just before injecting again. when we inject at lunch time, the level doesn't go up as Humalog works for about 4 hours so it is still in action. The hours between his lunch and dinner is more than then his breakfast and lunch so that has suited him. [/QUOTE]
