[QUOTE="TashT1, post: 2311638, member: 526953"] I was diagnosed about 3 months ago, I’ve never had a problem with the Lantus before. I started a new pen 7-10 days ago, can’t remember exactly and it was about 30 mins after injecting, there was a very tiny amount of blood after I injected but that occasionally happens & doesn’t usually cause an issue. The insulin looks fine, it’s kept in a cool dark place. I’ve been slowly reducing my doses on the advice of my endo so I’ve gone from 26u to 16u by taking it down 2u every few days over the last month. Due to that I’ve been running at the top end of my target the last few days. I know the libra lags & can be inaccurate so I double checked with the metre. On set of symptoms Libra scan 3.6 & rapidly falling Libra finger prick 2.1 Back up metre 3 Jelly babies 15 min later Libra scan 2.9 More jelly babies 15 min later Libra finger prick 7.6 Back up metre 9.3 15 mins after that libra scan confirms 7.6 On reflection maybe I should have just stuck with finger prick tests for that second check so it was more accurate but at that point I was still struggling to think clearly.
