Lantus units??

[Donna1]

Hi ive been diagnosed since last june. Feel i may be coming out of my honeymoon period although i havd felt that a few times raise my novorapid amounts n have hypos. However last week or so i have noticed my levels are around the 10-15 mark sonetimes with same insulin amounts i was taking which was 5-6 with each meal.
I have increased my lantus from 6 at night to 8 but still sugar level creeping up. How much units lantus is most people on outwith honeymoon period?

Hi,

Don't worry about what others are "jacking up" on...!

"Doc" was a generalisation.
"Diabetes specialist " I should have said.

With the best intention. I could tell you how much Lantus I knock in before bed. But I'm not you...

Thanx for yer reply.

No i wouldnt go by others was jis to see the difference in one person to another to see how it varies and what contibutes to the difference.

Never thot my raise in levels may also be due to weather change as its been roastin n now very cold, never thot of that.

True the temperature has changed.. I have upped a couple of units tonight.
I honestly wouldn't want you to make a rash & potentially problematic decision on my say so...
With respect, it's hard to gauge people on't tinternet...
