[QUOTE="Curleous, post: 101777, member: 20721"] Hi everyone was diagnose as t1 back in July this year with rapid weight loss and all the other associated symptons and was really quite poorly. hb1ac was 12.8 but a month ago i had a blood test at gp and was down to 7.2 . I am on lantus 14 units and 3 , 3 , and whatever at night time but normally 5 or 6 units. Is it worth me asking ofr another hb1ac test today as only a month since last one but last one was not 3 months since was i diganosed. Reading some of the posts on here i am concerned at all the negativity on lantus...what are the main health concerns with using lantus against using other types and what should i be looking out for. I have also noticed that if i have a couple of glasses of wine in the vevning my morning sugars are lower between 4.5 and 6 but no beer then about 5.5 to 7. i dont drink every night but can someone explain why this is and if it is ok. I have also noticed that when this happens that i can go low about 2 hours after brekkie and novorapid. I have also been slowly putting wait on since been diagnosed. I know i lost a lot before being diagnosed and was always likely to put some back on but i am now eating a lot less and more healthily and still seem to be putting weight on. BMI is just in the normal healthy range but i dont want to put on any more. I exercise 3 times a week normally with swimming for 1/2 hour or gym for 45 minutes. Sooooo many questions sorry. Thanks Curleous [/QUOTE]
