Dear diabetes forum.
I'm typr 2 and new to Insulin treatments, and I've made a mistake already for all the right reasons.
Lantus 100ml cartridges and an AllStar pro pen is my kit.
The Lantus is a Longterm Insulin.
One dose AM. 6units is the orders.
One dose a day i didn't hear, due to poor signal.
So i loaded the App, and saw Before meal and after meals. Assuming twice a day Insulin.
So i tested, Before breakfast 18.6mmol,
So being a cautious fellow and not wanting to overdo dosage, I did 2units AM & PM. Testing AM & PM
Over following weeks Testing & dosing twice a day. I've found myself at 5 units twice a day and readings of 10mmol AM and 12mmol PM.
And finally today AM was 7.4mmol, so i didn't take any insulin, at all.
Because I'm now worried i would have overdosed, if i had been shooting double dosing AM only.
Was i very wrong doing this twice a day at half dosage.??
And should i double the dose for a once a day shot.??
Best regards Pete
