[QUOTE="Carol11, post: 81312, member: 7169"] Yes diet matters see the other posts. But what you don't mention is if you are taking a rapid acting insulin, such as NovoRapid, at meal times. These types of insulin are meant to act on the meal you are about to consume. You dose according to the amount of carbs in the meal, your dietician can help you there. The starting basis is 1iu insulin for each 15g of carbs-refered to as carb counting and a process of testing to see what works for you. You inject that 5-10 minutes before you start to eat. The Lantus is a basal insulin good for 24 hours and meant to be a background insulin to cover the basic body functions to keep the body working. Search around this website and others for more info geared towards the UK. I'm in Canada but there is nothing different in dealing with this no matter where you live. Good luck and keep the board informed. We are all behind you in your quest. Allmthe best, Carol [/QUOTE]
