[QUOTE="searley, post: 2386507, member: 31377"] When I was on mdi 5 to 6 injections was not unusual The first thing that is needed is to get the lantus correct.. lantus should keep your bg level without food or exercise Basically if on a regular day with a skipped meal your bg still rises there is not enough lantus Once the basal(lantus)is right it’s easier with the bolus often not needing corrections I always had bolus before bed so the night time fast was a reasonable indication of how my basal was When I started insulin my dsn and me discussed how/when to increase the basal dose I was advised 2 unit increase every day until my bg was about 7 in the morning. And this worked quite well Was anything similar discussed for you? I wouldn’t recommend just increasing your dose without discussing with your care team as they can be a bit funny about it if the didn’t recommend it. [/QUOTE]
