[QUOTE="czj, post: 597724, member: 62497"] [SIZE=4]That seems a pretty significant reduction in carbs over the day. I definitely think a lower Lantus does is called for. I find it hard to cut my night-time dose. The first week on the HEIDI course the team suggested I up my daytime doses, to use a ratio of 1 and a half to 10 units of carbohydrate. A week later we reviewed the results and my daytime readings were in the 4 to 7 range consistently. However my morning readings varied - always over 10, sometime over 20 which hasn't happened for years. Aha they say - low during the night - cut the 12 of insulatard down to 10. Could I bring myself to do it? - no. I think I have a Pavlovian response. High blood sugar - take more insulin. Over the last few weeks I have managed to convince myself to do it, down to 10 and somedays 8. My morning readings are better (11 -1 4) so clearly I should be cutting back more. I know they must represent a night-time low, as if they were true highs then I'd be thirsty and needing the toilet. So, onward and downward. I'd be keen to know how your morning readings are doing.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
