[QUOTE="Blackers183, post: 1942694, member: 113279"] Hi Annb It does sound like there is some insulin resistance, you are on high doses which is why I assume the nurse was keen for you to drop you doses. I’m on Lantus and Novorapid, Lantus is 14 units at night and 10 in the morning. At the DAFNE course they advised 24 units of Lantus was the ‘standard’ and from there adjusting to suit individual requirements. Lantus (apparently) was designed to be a single dose but they found that this did not work for a lot of people (incl me) so for these people a split dose works better. You did not mention your readings but assume that the 60/30/30/30 keeps things under control. Also I’ve a diabetic friend who also takes Metformin but is also insulin resistant. [/QUOTE]
