[QUOTE="NewlyLADA, post: 2029406, member: 502051"] I love the G6 it has really helped show me what I’m eating effects me in different ways and to take small bits over time. I’m down to 5 units per day of lantus and I’m averaging 131 (7.2) I know that number will need to go down but for now it works. I got away from work and went on a short trip to Palm Springs, I had a flat line all day on my meter, even when I ate I had no large ups/downs which really tells me my workload stresses me out and I need to work on stress relief.... yoga, exercise, riding horses I did give myself a big scare and took insulin on a empty belly took both my 5 units of Lantus and my 1 units of bolus in morning before food and I barely made it to neighbors house to call 911, thankfully my neighbor is a type 2 and know what was happening gave my OJ and cookie before ambulance arrived. I was sweaty, shaking, could not talk real clear and very nauseous.... after about a 1/2 hour and food I felt better, it took a day to feel normal again. And lots of water. My Specialist told me as LADA never take short acting on empty tummy no matter what my number is when waking up. As I’m still making insulin I basically gave myself a insulin overdose. Dr now says only take long lasting and start to learn to carb count. Not ready for meal time doses. It was so scary, then I felt anxiety just giving myself a shot of lantus the next day, and so much that I wait until I’m around others to give my shot. Thank you for your words [/QUOTE]
