[QUOTE="stabatha, post: 20279, member: 7232"] It sounds to me that he must be a type 2 ,if he has been told to only have 1 injection a day of Lantus, but its rare in one so young , though it can happen . I have never in my life heard of a type 1 not to having to inject a fast acting at each meal as well as the slow at least once a day , or twice if on split doses , it just wouldn't work as we have to allow for when we eat . Lantus is only a background insulin to keep things ticking over between meals and overnight . As for drinking full sugar coke, thats just being suicidal as fergus said consuming all that sugar with only one injection of Lantus a day will make him insulin deficient as the slow acting will not be able to work quick enough to bring BGs down so they will stay high for ages, he really needs help and educating or he won't be around for much longer :cry: [/QUOTE]
