I went onto Lantus Insulin (14 units) taken at 7am each day about 8 months ago as I was not managing with diet control and metformin. I now have experienced lows with readings down to 3.4 particularly after exercising...golf or cycling. Before I go to play golf I have muesli and a slice of toast with marmalade. I then have a bounty bar and a banana during my golf and can still experience a low at the end of my golf..about 3 hours. I seem to have to eat more than I would like and it appears as though I am feeding the insulin. I have played sport all my life and have never been overweight. I developed type 2 at the age of 61. Would I be better to simply eat sugary items(jelly babies) during my exercise rather than getting the fat content of a bounty bar and a banana?
