[QUOTE="iHs, post: 183825, member: 8799"] Hi One way to ease the sting from Lantus is to inject into the side of the bottom and inject slowly not quickly. Another way is to numb the area off using frozen peas, iceblock, emla cream, ametop gel, xylocaine spray (these can be got using eBay). If you now have a half unit pen you could increase the Lantus up by half unit to see if that alters the breakfast bg or reduce the food at supper by 10g carb. The best way though is to do what Sugar2 has suggested and go by that first. Loads of things are all trial and error using MDI and getting bg levels to behave. Why is your dsn so keen for James to use Lantus instead of Levemir? Levemir is so much better really even though it usually needs to be injected twice a day. Humalin is also a good alternative.
