Increase of Lantus/BI

So up to day 6 of the BI increase so have now had 3 days to let things settle, and 3 days to see the full effect - what does anyone think?

What happened Sunday Gill. Where did the morning go?
9.2 Sunday night and you list 3.5 CP. Your comment seems to suggest you consumed 2 x 1.7 CPs. But you take no QA and no BI. There must be info missing as how did you get to 3.4 BG at 08:18?
Difficult to comment rationally without all necessary information.
Take your time and wait to see a distinct pattern emerging. Once you are sure, you can confidently make needed changes.
Don't rush. We are all individuals and I think others have talked of Lantus changes taking longer for them to be sure about the outcome.
I think an unbalanced split BI may help you overcome your morning hypos and help you flatten out your food intake pattern.

- I'm afraid the morning was a bit of a blur.

- Yes that's correct I did consume 2 x 1.7 CPs but I never take QA before going to bed to sleep I'm just so nervous of what the outcome would be if I did that. Re the BI I checked my meter and yes I did deffinitley take it.

- By an unbalanced split BI what would you mean?

Your late morning eating seems to sway things for you.
Why not try 10:00 am 12 u BI and 10:00 pm 10 u BI ... still 22, but split and once the time needed for your body to adjust has gone by, you may be able to see improved morning results.
Although a lot less insulin sensitive than you, I personally find that a change in Total Daily Dose of BI from 56 to 54 u makes a big difference across the whole day....so I am comparitively sensitive to BI adjustments and as a consequence I change these split doses only when my BG figures surely demonstrate the necessity. Might be a change too far to make when going on holiday though, as you will need focus on adequate BG control when away. Perhaps leave it for a while.

- I'm also thinking it may be best to do any needed changes when I'm back from hols. When I'm home I may do the same as I do with BI changes and leave it 3 days to let things settle, 3 days to see any effect and maybe a few more to see how things are going.

2 more days of my BG diary to check - please comment

Likely ... like most of us ... that your BI does not last 24 hours.
It only lasted 20 to 21 hours max for me and with that evidence, plus HCP advice, led me to my current split BI ... which works for me.

Thanks for your reply Garry. A split is something to consider but obviously not when on the verge of going away on holiday and out of the country.
When I'm back home I'll give it probably 1 week or just over to see how things have settled and take it from there.
