Hi DArmstrong,

Thank you for all your comments. Yes I am on lantus and I was on a single dose until Thursday which is when I have gone onto a split dose.

I spoke to my DSN about it and she is phoning me on Tuesday to see how things are going, so comments welcomed as to what to tell her please.

Was going to ask DSN about apidra QA instead of humalog, I've heard that this is faster in, faster out

Current dose of Lantus/BI is 28u

Asked the DSN about apidra, she checked it out in her book and said it's the same action as humalog.

I know

Was going to ask DSN about apidra QA instead of humalog, I've heard that this is faster in, faster out so wondered if maybe that might stop some of the hypos, also may be better if I've had a later than usual evening meal.

Current dose of Lantus/BI is 28u

So the hypos are definitely back......

What have you done about it......?

Have you recorded pre bed results with no butterpuffs......? This will show a better picture....

- Yes the hypos are back Crying or Very sad

, just on waking though not during the rest of the day Smile

.

- I've not done anything yet about it but now you say really I should be maybe reducing the BI possibly by 2u.
Just seems that whenever I reduce BI BS all go up then whenever I increase BI BS all come crashing down.

- no I've not recorded pre bed results with no butterpuffs. I usually have supper then do the bedtime test when I get into bed. So maybe I should do bedtime results just before having supper.
