[QUOTE="fergus, post: 61204, member: 6150"] Hi buzzy, Splitting the dose might well be the answer. It's rare to find someone for whom Lantus lasts exactly 24 hours. For some it can be finished in as little as 18. By splitting, he'll ensure more even coverage for 24 hours, rather than the peak and trough which results from a single large daily dose. Paul, a 10/8 spilt might be a good place to start for you. In theory at least, your basal dose is only dealing with the glucose your liver is metabolising between meals, but it obviously can't differentiate between the glucose from your diet or your liver. Give it a go, keep a close eye on the meter, and fine tune things according to your results. All the best, fergus [/QUOTE]
