[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 2027271, member: 468714"] Hi [USER=503929]@Yug[/USER] - in the end you chose what you can live with. But can I just give you something to read about Lantus? see diabettech.com - Lantus: Lethal or Life Saviour? I am 65 but been on a pump for a number of years. Decom is currently too expensive for me and I do not believe the Libre is accurate enough. The other thing to think about is diet - as I have said on other thread (or two)! - over 50 + years on insulin no diet has really been satisfactory - until I took the plunge and went very low carb. Now less hypers and hypos - I wish I had known about it before going on a pump even. I read Dr Bernstein's 'Diabetes Solution' (I chose the e book for convenience). The approx. 30 g carb diet is not for everyone (and 50% of protein is counted in the carb count) but it is for me. His personal example of being on insulin for 75 years is pretty impressive too !! If you wish to try low carb please read the book, discuss the diet with your doctor (as the carb amount is small the short-acting insulin doses need to be adjusted accordingly). And dietdoctor.com is useful in the early stages of starting such a diet !! You have to be convinced that saturated fats and cholesterol do not matter, and they do not according to what I have read (see references below) but your doctor is less likely to be flexible - the refs should help though!! Best Wishes whatever you decide to do !! I suggest subscribing to zoeharcombe.com (she is Welsh nutritionist, independent of Big Food, Big Pharma, Government and any of their lobby groups - who has researched all the saturated fat and cholesterol literature and shown up the false statistics and misleading results plus debunked the fake news and misleading reports about low carb diet.) Your doctor really needs to read her work to understand why low carb diet works and is worthwhile).:):):) [/QUOTE]
