Are you an intermittently very active person (ie, strenuous activity lasting more than 2 hours, with such strenuous activity times varying widely from day to day) or do you have a non-varied routine which is more on the sedate side?
Is the lantuss room temp when you are using it… nudge, nudge? One possibility for the burn. Any chance it’s too shallow, literally? Getting much back out after the injection perhaps? Another possibility…
Regardless after four days you’ll have almost no pattern to work with. 3 days is the standard minimum time frame but that typically is for short acting math rather than long acting.
Lantus does not have a peak. It’s designed to be a cement ceiling. A buffer that can’t easily be pierced through… if you need to tweak, do so but real carefully, real itty bitty tweaks. It’s an insulin, disrespect it ever and it’ll bite ya mdi, pump or not.
Resist the urge to act too fast. Get a longer pattern and you’ll have more data to work with. Good luck
Stuart, with all due respect, Lantus may not have been designed to have a peak, but for many people it clearly does have a peak in its action profile.
Truer and more eloquent words have never been spoken.
LOL. Well, Churchill and Lincoln said a few things that I wish I’d thought of first, as have a few others . . . but thanx for the nice thought!
Thanks everyone, the endo finally called us back and we switched to Levemir and made some changes…fingers crossed. This has all felt way to much like diagnosis this week…I hate this disease every day
It was room temp and looked like a good injection when she did it…and thanks
