Morning High

I have just completed Dafne course last week and during the first few days I have been lowering my lantus (which I take before bed), from 26u to 24u to 22u. For the last few days now, my BG before bed is good, but the next morning is very high. Do u think it be best to raise my lantus to 24 again for few days to try and eliminate morning highs. The morning highs are on Sunday 27th and Monday 28th.

I was going to increase my basal by 10-20%, so from 22 to 24 for few days to see what effect that has. Would anyone agree/disagree

Only from another graduate like yourself, but I would agree.
We all need recognise how long changes in Lantus dose take to have any effect. Seems to take 3 days for most of us.
My DAFNE consultant recommends 10 to 20% changes in BI to see quick outcome - so I think you are right

Hi, thanks for reply.
Well, fingers crossed the increase has worked. With a morning BG of 5.7 this morning, I'm hoping my increase of BI last night continues this morning trend...I'll monitor for a few days, do some 3am checks and come back with the results.

3 days after BI increase.....looking better now apart from the morning hypo this morning....

Keep it steady Gordon P - and see how it goes.
If you are repeatedly low on a morning you may need adjust BI again.
Know it's a pain, but as you mentioned, some 03:00 am BGs will help you understand what is happening....and more specifically....when.
