I'm in a similar boat to you. I am trying to get off lantus. I have put on weight since using it. I now eat no carbs to keep my QA low. Lantus does have a small peak, regardless of what dr's say. It can take up to 4 hrs to become fully active and does not make any effect for the ist 30 mins. If you split your dose you have to get your timings right for the second jab. If you leave it too late it takes a while to get going. Therefore you will go higher and correct. later on you could hypo. With this irregular pattern I have found it difficult to lose weight. |
