[QUOTE="Catsymoo, post: 1778309, member: 45466"] Sorry to keep posting here, but my insulin has weirdly started working again which is making me a bit worried about hypos now. The only thing that changed in the last 24 hours was, splitting Lantus dose but not on purpose lol. I was working about an hour away, and in the stress of packing a bag I forgot to change my Lantus cartridge so I only had 16 units/half a dose at 5:30pm-6pm normal time. I took the other 19 units when I got home from work, about 1am. Maybe this was the solution all along!? My nurse told me NOT to split my dose before trying other things first, because too many changes ''can't pinpoint the problem''. I haven't been eating much the last few days as I've been travelling and working, so yesterday was avocado on toasted rye bread for breakfast, 11mmol after that, then 9mmols before break at 6pm. literally barely anything on my break (I had carrot sticks and a boiled egg and spinach thing at dinnertime, I injected 3 units as I had half a flapjack), and when I got home I was at 5.2, I had a cheese toasted sandwich with kimchi, I only injected 4 units because 5.2 was a little low and I was worried. I woke up at noon, 8.6mmol, injected 4 units for a chocolate rice cake (10g carb), and a Graze snack box, so probably another 10g in that. 4 hours later I'm at 7.6! I'm really pleased with that! Just had some char siu buns and took 6 units, I'll see how it goes later. This is what I mean about ratios drastically changing and causing me unsuspecting hypos, it's so scary. I want to split my Lantus dose again but I doubt I'll be up at 1am, so I might try taking it at bedtime instead like a lot of people do. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
