[QUOTE="czj, post: 604516, member: 62497"] [SIZE=4]Sorry to hear about the ear infection. Sounds pretty bad, glad you persevered and got more treatment, and it is on the mend. The long, low blood sugar is a worry. The fact it went on so long suggests you might have too much Lantus working away for hour after hour. I still think, apart from the days when you had the infection, you must be having far too much Lantus. Your carbohydrate has gone down from 230g to 180g, that's clearly a drop of 50g. (about 20%) But you are taking 40 units of Lantus, 8 units more than your usual dose (a rise of 25%). That doesn't make sense. With that drop of over 20% in your CHO, wouldn't you expect to have to reduce your original Lantus by say 6 units, down to 26?[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
