Hi all, I wanted some advice, im sure some of you will have experience.
Basically since the start of September I wanted to get back into fitness and it has gone great, really starting to tone and lost more than 10kg. Over the months I've had to tinker with basal insulin as expected and dropped from 26 units of lantus to 18. I've been going to the gym literally every day with a couple of days rest here and there.
But heres my problem, when I goto the gym... all my glucose levels are in check, however if I dont go for a day or two my BGL increase overnight using the same lantus dose. Should I be increasing my lantus dose on days I am not working out?
Thanks all!
