I would rather not experiment while school is still on, I’ve missed enough time at school as it is. Maybe I’ll try something drastic during the summer when my GPA isn’t at risk. but as of right now, this is working, so why change anything? My 2 hours are generally good, depending on how close I can count my carbs. 1:12 is much easier than 1:5. being 1 unit off is much better than being 3
Yea, not a time to risk it. I try to do my experiments on weekends. Going high or low at work isn’t cool, esp low. When I change doses, I only do it in 1-1.5 unit increments & keep it at that for three days to get a sense of what’s happening.

Hey Ali,
this may sound crazy but when i started on Lantus, i think more than 5 years ago, i was having the same issue. I was using about 19 units at bed (10 or 11pm) lot’s of lows… I was at Joslin at the time and the endo there reccomended I kick my BG level up to 200 before bed, (have a snack that would get me there) then take the Lantus. (now i’m not reccomendign this to you but it’s an option to take to your DR.) this worked for me for years, until my newer Endo suggested I stop this and simply split my Lantus shot… duh! >>slaps head<< 8) so now i take most of it at bed and anothe bit in the morning… this is working pretty well for me, at least until I try to start Pumping next week…
Good luck, hope you find a good balance soon!!!
