Message: <blockquote data-quote="kelp84" data-source="post: 1095498" data-attributes="member: 22335">4 years ago I posted on this forum about how rubbish my levels were ....They are still awful ( I am between 15-21 on a usual day!)Last week I purchased a free style libre it's fantastic but makes it very hard to ignore how bad my levels are .... I did dad me 4 years ago and I struggle to remember the principles .... So am hoping to pick your brains .... Fast acting insulin (novorapid) .... Am I right in thinking this lasts 3-5 hours .... So if I'm high 5 hrs after a meal I can probably correct?The starting assumptions are .... 10g carb will bring your sugar levels up by 2/3 mmol and similarly 1 unit of fast acting will bring you down by 2mmol I asked to be put on lantus 6 months ago after being on levemir for years .... I read a scary article about lantus being associated with cancer? Is this valid or a load of rubbish? I split lantus 14 at night and 14 in the morning .... I can safely assume that my levels are so erratic that none of my ratios or lantus amount is correct ...... Which would you test first? I am going to go in with 2 units to 10g of carb and then maybe in a day or so do some fasting long acting tests ...I wish I could paste my sugar level graph in here<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> I am determined to get a hba1c below 9 this yearThank you in advance to anyone who can offer any tips or refreshers .... Much appreciated!!!!</blockquote>
