[QUOTE="gavin86, post: 1479815, member: 401781"] At that dose I would also stop taking it if you're going low from 1 unit. It doesn't matter if you feel "foggy" - that could be many things - what matters is your blood sugar level and not having hypos. Perhaps look into half unit dosing? Also, at such a small volume, any minor variation in injection effectiveness will have a more pronounced effect. Make sure your injection technique is consistent every time. Perhaps you need to investigate the possibility of some other metabolic disorder too - although it varies between people, there is an upper limit to how much glucose 1 unit of insulin can deal with, and it seems like something there might not be working correctly, if 1u lets you snack all day just to avoid lows. I'm just entering my "honeymoon" and am taking 24u lantus every day , plus about 18u novorapid. I weigh 75kg.. but I would love to not need as many injections, so count yourself as lucky! [/QUOTE]
