[QUOTE="squishee, post: 145416, member: 26882"] Hi all, I posted this yesterday with no response, so I'm re-posting in this section in the hope someone can help!! I recently (about3 or 4 months ago) switched to Lantus as my background insulin. Things seemed to be going fine at first, the early morning high blood sugars I was experiencing on Humulin I have stopped sompletely, and apart from a fiddle with the doses everything seemed to be going really well. In the last few weeks however, I've been having a real struggle Following advice from my diabetic nurse I have split my Lantus into 2 doses, 12hrs apart. It wasn't really lasting the full 24hrs for me (I was peaking at lunchtime), so she recommended doing this. I now take half at 9am, and half at 9pm. But now my blood sugars are getting ridiculously high around the time of my mid-morning dose. Today, for example, I was 17! I was 7 before going to bed, and 8 when I woke up which is fine, breakfast was a small bowl of bran flakes, ss milk and a small banana, and I gave myself 8u of Humalog. I'm continually playing with my breakfast Humalog, but if I had the same amount of carbs for lunch, for example, I'd only give myself around 3 units of Humalog which would be more than adequate. For some reason at breakfast no matter how much I give myself I always seem to be high at midmorning. It's starting to really get me down now, any advice gratefully recieved Edit: 12:35 - Have just done another blood test (it's still an hour until I normally have lunch) and I'm now at 7! How is this possible? I didn't inject any extra Humalog mid-morning, only my normal 12u of Lantus. So, if I'd given myself a larger dose at breakfast I'd probably be hypo now. [/QUOTE]
