Ideally, you’ll be best off getting down to around 4-7mmol, as that’s where you’ll minimise your risk of long term complications. But bring it down slowly, and work out how much insulin does what to your body. It doesn’t work so well at higher bg levels, which is why you’re having to take those big doses to get an effect. Give the basal testing a go over the next week or two, and get that nailed first. You may then find that your NovoSluggish is more effective. But basal is key.thats why my dsn told me my ranges should be between 8 and 12 then but my mind says between 6 and 10 if i could do that i would be over the moon my 2 week average is 10.9 so thats not so bad just need to level it out and you know what its time for 10 units of basal. i used to be on lantus dont you find it stings like mad im used to pain i kind of like it but that stuff jusst burned for hours after injecting
And yes. Lantus is a stinger!
