[QUOTE="SamJB, post: 416573, member: 45322"] Lantus is used to cover glucose produced by your liver between meals and overnight. This doesn't stop when you low carb, so you will need to continue your Lantus. My Lantus dose has not changed since low carbing. In fact, when you low carb your body will enter a state of glucneogenesis where your liver creates glucose from protein and fatty acids that you eat. So you will need to continue your fast acting insulin, but at a reduced rate. Even if you consume almost no carbs in a meal, you will need fast acting insulin. This is because when you eat your large intestine stretches as the food enters. This triggers glucogen production in anticipation of the meal so that you get an immediate high benefit from the meal. Therefore your fast acting dose is determined by how full you are. This is what I go on. Works a treat, hardly any hypos or highs. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
