I know that there have been a lot of posts on basal insulin.
I am a bit overwhelmed with the giant information posted by people and having difficulties sorting out which is which.
I am very new to diabetes. Puzzled here and there many times, but working on it.
Since I last diagnosed 3 weeks ago, I have been suggested by my doc to take 12 units of Lantus every night before bed.
I am reading more about good morning reading now and I am aiming to have mine below 100 mg/dl.
However, I haven't really been able to do this.
The last few days I woke up with 120-140 mg/dl for my FBG.
So far, I have only been successful with one morning with BG 94 mg/dl!
Should I be increasing my lantus dose?
I am 119 pounds, by the way.
I have read that to get the approximate dose, I can calculate by dividing my weight to 4.
So 119/4 = dose of basal insulin I need.
What do you think of this?
Should I be consulting with my doctor again?
Oh there's so much to learn.
But I am not giving upppppp
Thank you!
