Having had diabetes 2 for over 25 years (now aged 70) I am starting to inject Lantus and would appreciate hearing of others' experiences concerning dosage.
I inject Lantus at bedtime, increasing the unit dose by two each time. I am now, after six weeks, dialling 40 units and getting nowhere with my morning readings which seem to stick around 9 mmol/l.
I get nervous about giving myself a night time hypo as I steadily turn up the dial. :?
My morning target is 5 or 6 mmol/l.
What is the 'average' number of Lantus units taken, please?
Thank you for your response.
