[QUOTE="tpaz, post: 1216191, member: 212123"] I need some help! I've been prescribed prednisone for chronic migraines, for a week. 50mg per day. My doctor has asked me to more than double up all my insulin and adjust as necessary. Here's her recommendation: 10 U Lantus at night, 10 U Lantus in the am. 1:1.5 Bolus ratio (NovoRapid) 1U for every 1.5 g carbs I've been floating around 8-12 mmol fasting and between meals, and about 8 mmol after meals. I've been correcting with NovoRapid, for the high in between meal numbers, but an injection every 3 hours is making me crazy. Anyone have any suggestions? I was thinking I'd try 15U Lantus at night and in the morning, and what about my bolus? 1:1? Does 30 U of total Lantus seem enough? [/QUOTE]
