[QUOTE="Anthony_H, post: 1560897, member: 432448"] TBH, it wasn't so much the one injection of Lantus that was concerning me but more the novorapid doses which I'm taking currently 4 x daily and already in different doses. My blood glucose levels are mid high teens on average with the odd one going high single figures and also low 20's. I appreciate these will continue to drop over the next few weeks but at present my dosages are 24 units lantus once daily with my wife checking the dose and 25 units rapid taken before meals including a small supper one due to a general craving for food between 10pm-midnight. 8,6,8,3. My wife is generally absent for at least two of these and our bedtimes are generally different too so really she's only able to monitor my evening meal dose. I get up normally around 4.30 and check my BG and ketones first thing. I then have my medication for my other illnesses but don't eat until around 9am.....just coffee and water in the interim. So first injection and another BG is around 9. I'm snacking nuts and cucumber and trying my best to understand carbs which is all new to me. I'm keeping a good diary for the dietitian and specialist nurse and hopefully we can try to find a solution to my concerns. After reading the responses so far I'm not anticipating an easy solution but hopefully a method can be devised which will help my unusual situation. [/QUOTE]
