My diabetic specialist has moved my Lantus down to 14 two night ago to try to stop my constantly dropping levels.
Out of habit I accidentally gave myself 15. I still can't believe how much difference one unit makes. The second night on 14 I hovered around the 7-8s all night, last night with the 15 I was woken up twice by my Dexcom.
I don't want to hover on the 8s all night, but I don't want to be waking up and eating **** all morning (it tends to slow down in the evening - must have worked itself out throwing all its insulin at me! When will this period end!!!)
Any advice, I spoke about half units following a previous post but apparently they don't do any?! Can I move back to 14 tonight? Even though I have only just changed to 15 for one night? Is it worth it to hover so high? I could phone my specialist but they usually take a day to get back to me.
