[QUOTE="Josef1980, post: 561059, member: 111843"] I take Lantus at 6 AM everyday because Lantus causes me hypoglycemia if taken at night That solved my problem with Lantus night hypoglycemia Also you might want to reduce how much Lantus you are taken maybe you are insulin sensitive i.e. low insulin resistance therefore [B]you don't need that much insulin[/B] If you are always low in Blood Sugar that will make you always hungry you only need Lantus [B]once a day [/B]no need for two shots cut the dosage (reduce) and take [B]one [/B]in the morning remember I am only speaking from my experience[B] I am not a Doctor[/B] 15 years type 1 diabetic on Lantus and NovoRapid The end goal of insulin is to make your Blood Sugar level to normal: 5-6 mmol or 80-120 mg/dl for most of the day [B]Do not kill yourself with too much insulin [/B] I used to take 15 Lantus then 40 then 5 then 12 , it depends on your insulin sensitively If I get hypos because of lantus that means I need to cut the dosage i.e. Reduce Lantus is not supposed to cause hypoglycemia but in reality [B][U]too much Lantus does cause hypoglycemia[/U][/B] So what affects insulin sensitivity ? [B]Sport[/B], [B]exercise i.e. level of activity (how much sugar you are burning during the day)[/B], [B]skipping meals,[/B] [B]what food do you eat[/B]; for me If i eat from McDonald I have to take twice the number of units compared to eating home cooked meal. McDonald is bad food. Bread, rice.... slow digested Carbohydrates : need insulin shot ice-cream, juices, chocolate... fast burned Carbohydrates: no need to take insulin injection Lantus will burn it [/QUOTE]
