Question re lantus

I've done this before and had a nasty hypo, I put it down to the usual distance between eating and Lantus initial injection. Little in the system to grab it.
I've held off Lantus for up to 2 hours off usual time (driving back home with little/nothing to eat and planned to eat when home). I then account for the extra time by maybe dropping my NovoRapid by a unit at the usual time the next evening. But it all depends on how well behaved my BG has been that day

Hi,

Lantus & live music?
I’m a band member.. Interestingly. I can delay my Lantus on a gig night by 3 hours till I get home.
I use a sensor to catch the blind spots twix testing. I can be in the late 4s by the end of the night with a slight rise in the mid 5s after packing down & driving home. Then a little drop to late fours again after I’ve settled with a glass of wine & contemplating my basal & bolus for something to eat?
This is just running on basal. Lunch was a good 12 or 13 hours earlier. ( can’t eat just prior to a gig.)

For me, this seems to be a consistent trend. I call it, “the power of rock & roll.” The basal should have technically worn off with my BGs climbing.. Not in a pretty respectable “holding pattern.”


I feel it is a question of repeating the action on your next night out & try and spot a pattern??
