[QUOTE="CageG, post: 267701, member: 23377"] Re the comment about Lantus> I'm slightly unusual in that I take my Lantus in the morning (about 7-8am), rather than at night. I found that helps keep a more normal profile overnight for me, and it works better for timing for me too. I found that when I took Lantus in one large dose it had a significant onset affect (literally would send me low about 90 minutes later), so I split it into 2 equal doses, 1 at 8am 1 at 8 pm. This works much better for me, the morning dosage still has a small onset effect but this approximately offsets the dawn effect (BG rising in the am without carbs), +/- a hobnob or two if I skip breakfast, and the evening gets absorbed into my humalog dosage for my evening meal. On subject I aim to wake up in the low 4's but don't drive for a living; sometimes much higher if I've eaten something with slow carbs the night before. Type 1 since 2004 HbA1c's around 5 [/QUOTE]
