Hi Everyone,

Last month I went for my six month review with my consultant, amazing how time flies! He suggested reducing my Lantus by two units because he felt my readings were slightly low. I am on a carb counting meter. I have only reduced it by one unit so far and I have noticed my readings have gone up to the point that they are to high. I think my meter may need to be adjusted to take into count the change in my Lantus. I have not been eating anything different or out of the ordinary. I'm thinking I may need to get in touch with my diabetes nurse just to make sure. Any suggestions?
 
Do the basal tests, get them correct, then adjust your quick acting ratios if needed.
 
Thanks Brett, makes sense what you've said! Sometimes you second guess yourself, thinking am I doing the right thing. Thanks for your help.
