[QUOTE="MushyPeaBrain, post: 653502, member: 27914"] Lantus is a background insulin so just helps keep good levels stable. It isn't insulin to be used for correcting high BG as it works too slowly. At 21 you should not being going to sleep unless you have somebody with you? Personally I would at least be setting an alarm to test and correct further in another 2 hours. It is worrying that it doesn't sound like you are taking these highs as seriously as you should. The hospital always say inject a small correction dose, monitor and then correct again if needed. The correction dose should be fast acting insulin. [/QUOTE]
