Hello
I was on lantus for a long while until about 2 yrs ago when my DSN recommended a change to levemir. I changed over but I found after awhile I had an allergic skin reaction to the levemir wherever I injected it. I was split dosing the levemir 1 morning 1 evening.
I have now gone back to lantus and my skin reactions have cleared up but I am still split dosing and having a job to get my basal doses right.
I have looked the the profile of levemir and lantus and I`m now wondering if I should go back to a single basal dose with lantus?
I`m getting a lot of fasting hypo`s (1.9 last night at 2 am) after taking my last bolus at 6:30 pm and my evening lantus at 7 pm
I take my morning dose at 7am. I am reducing both but doses but I was told by my DSN to only make slow changes with my basal and wait 3 days to ascertain the effect.
I am trying to loose weight so I`m not wanting to snack if I can avoid doing so
