There's nothing like writing something down and ranting about how nonsensical and inexplicable it is to change things. A few days ago I went on at length about how dropping 2 units of Lantus led to consistently high readings the following morning and seemed to cause rampant blood glucose rises for the whole next day. Well guess what. Over the last week I've had low blood sugars in the morning a few times, and each time I've dropped back to 12 units for my evening dose. It seems, almost deliberately to spite my blog post, that my body has decided to accept this little change with good grace this time. Indeed last night (after a briskish 9.30pm walk) I dropped to 12 units and ate approx 20g carbs and still woke up a little hypo this morning!
I'll let you know how things carry on...
Update: more on my continuing Lantus fun and games here.
