I have been T1 for the past few years. Using Lantus for basal, I inject 22 units every evening around 7.30. My waking number is usually between 5 and 6. For the past week I have tried injecting in the morning, around 8.30, thinking that it might be better to have any immediate benefits from the injection while I am awake during the day, rather than at night when asleep. Also that as the injection wears off it’s best it does that at night when I don’t eat etc. (I don’t have a problem with not eating after 7pm).
Now, however, my waking number is around 8, presumably because it’s getting on for 24 hours since I injected (and not 12 hours), and the Lantus has worn off.
Does this mean I haven’t been injecting enough basal? I inject usually about 6 units of NovoRapid before meals.
Any comments would be appreciated, and thanks for reading this far!
