[QUOTE="bmtest, post: 2141672, member: 21293"] Always check with Diabetes nurse for advice if needed but for me you just need to gain confidence in the insulin dose adjustment. For me the Lantus I will inject at anytime between 11am to 2am with a reading of 8, therefore that gives me 6 to 8 hours sleep and wake up with levels about 3 to 8, which is easy marks. Before anyone comments they are too low its not an exact science I live in real world its just a number and I am skilled in what ever it is after 40+ year experience and no complications. Other scenarios with Lantus at nightime if routine alters and I may forger if I have injected or not which is often, if this is case I will not worry and give half Lantus in morning as safety measure and if I feel like it will give half again in afternoon depending on readings. High reading mid mornng such as 13-14 which can be common as carb counting counteractive dose in morning is higher i will inject fast acting to bring it down if required. For me it is plain sailing after 12pm whatever, morning is most difficult to bring control in. A high reading can always be lowered and low reading can alwayd be taken higher and beware you can go up and down like yo yo till you gain skill so take readings and do things gradual. If you want low reading with out any effort shock your body with exercise or different routine and watch the low reading appear. Good Luck [/QUOTE]
