[QUOTE="Missy Cat, post: 789079, member: 142324"] Blimey this is quite a shock to read! I was diagnosed only in October 2014 so I am very new to all this. I was initially on glicazide but my HCPs at the hospital decided I needed insulin so put me on Lantus alone. That was not enough on its own so then came the bolus, Humalog, which seems to work quite well. What I have struggled with is the night time hypos. I started with my 10u of Lantus dose at 11pm and was having Hypos around 5-6am. My DSN recommended to move the dose to earlier so changed it to 9pm and since then have been hypos around 2-3am. This happens way too often and have already booked another appoint with my DSN to discuss this. Obviously been new to all this I am quite nervous about changing my medication. However I am keen to get this resolved... I am shattered the following morning and it then plays havoc with me when I'm tired at work. I knew the hypos we're going to be unpleasant but have been surprised just how awful it leaves you feeling afterwards. Are there many other alternatives to Lantus? I will definitely be discussing his thread with my DSN. Thank you all for the useful information! This forum is a a godsend :) [/QUOTE]
