[QUOTE="MarkMunday, post: 2295465, member: 525839"] Lantus is not the best for flexibility. Levemir may be more suitable. Because of the shorter action, you have more flexibility in the level of insulin action when using split doses. I also find Lantus makes me go low in the morning. Even when I have the whole dose in a morning shot. It makes me go low the next morning, 20 hours after injection. It wasn't always like this. My response to Lantus has changed, over the years. I have also become more active and eat less carbohydrate. I have been retrying split dose NPH (Levemir is not funded in NZ) to deal with it, but there is too much day-to-day variability. I will probably go back to Lantus and get into the habit of eating some chocolate before bed. Think I can live with that ;). [/QUOTE]
