If you have some excess weight you really need to have a reduced carb diet if you can and make sure your carers know this as they may be following the wrong NHS diet advice. Insulin and any excess weight (if you have any) don't work well together whether T1 or T2 as any insulin resistance in the body can make insulin less effective. Your Lantus needs to be adjusted so you blood sugar stays stable without eating for a good few hours. It's job is to match the liver's output of background glucose. It may be worth asking for twice a day mixed insulin as this includes insulin to work with carbs in meals and should give a lower HBA1c. You need to find out what your HBa1C is and if it's higher than 7%'ish seek further medical support. Don't worry about morning fasting BS levels but more what the level is 2 hours after a meal.</p></blockquote><p></p>
