Today I was at Pizza Hut. Did my BG before eating & it was 6.9 I was to scared to give myself 8 units in preparation of a heavy carb meal (as I always have 5-6) incase my BG would drop low. I don't know, would it?
When I did my BG again later it had shot up to 17.3 (yes I did pig out & it was gr8) Hopefully the Lantus will do its job tonight so it's lower in the morning ready for a healthy day. Has anyone had this problem? x
 
Hi. See my reply to you on your other post today. If I'm having a full 3-course meal I may go up to 10 units whereas normally it might be 6. You can always do a correction dose with the rapid if it's that high. There is a rule-of-a-100 for that. Google it or come back and ask and I'll dig out the info.
 
@luzanmurphy_ your Lantus should absolutely not be lowering your bg levels so much overnight that you are using it as a way to deal with your Pizza Hut. If it is dropping you by that much then your levels are not right.
