Your ratios at mid afternoon and your evening meal don't seem high enough! Try taking more insulin!? What about splitting your bi? Its evenly spread throughout the day. It seems to be short lived(running out in the daytime)!

Hi glen4,
Thank you for my reply/comment. Re altering my lunchtime & evening meal ratios could they both be done at the same time or am I best maybe altering the lunchtime one first then leave for a few days before altering the evening meal one?

Should I be altering my ratios & if so how many to alter at once?

Should I be altering my background?

Thank you

I'd agree with those options. DAFNE advice is to ONLY make one change at a time and I would probably start with splitting the background (if you want to) as that is the basis on which everything else is built. It clearly usage appears to be petering off mid morning onwards. If you get a comfortable split BI then you may need to be less drastic with any changes to your ratios - they may even be right if you let the BI change settle in for a couple of days.

Hi mdaddison,
Thank you for your reply.

Is there anyone else apart from glen4 & mdaddison who thinks I would be best to try doing a split with my lantus?
