Lantus dosage and usage is one of the things

Lantus dosage and usage is one of the things my new doctor wants to see for himself. He was totally disgusted by the few notes Dr. Jerkyll kept so he couldn't formulate any kind of idea on how best to treat me. I'm going to ask for Novolog to be added to my regimen. Now that I'm back to work full time and no longer taking Cymbalta, I no longer have a problem with Dawn Phenom, since I no longer have a dawn. LOL If he even hints at a pump he'll just have to come up with a better idea because there's no way I'll ever use one.

It's easier to tweak the basal when there is no fast-acting insulin to "muddy the waters." Maybe Dr. New wants to get that done first (it doesn't take all that long) before he has you take the NovoLog or Humalog for meals. You don't have to have a dawn to experience the Dawn Phenomenon. You can have it whenever you first get up for the day. It can be mid-afternoon if that's when you arise. However, if you are no longer having DP, then that means your body may still be making enough insulin to handle it.

I thought the same thing about using a pump but, as time goes by, the idea seems to hold more appeal . That little Omnipod (without tubing) is beckoning. I intend to ask MY Dr. New about it when I see her in June. The varying basal rates (and basal needs do change throughout the day) as well as the ease of bolusing are most intriguing. My only concern is the cost, which I hope will be covered (or at least shared) by Medicare plus my supplementary insurance. Anyone out there know?
