These are morning BGs, bedtime BGs, and daily insulin taken. I'm not sure what to adjust except diet and that isn't very adjustable. Breakfast is 1 scrambled egg and an Atkins Shake. Dinner is a small amount of meat and a lettuce, cucumber, 1/4 cup cottage cheese salad*. Mother's Day included a vinegrette dressing which could explain the 183 bedtime number but I haven't got a clue what is causing the other high numbers. I'm only testing twice a day until next week. New doctor told me to do this and give the holes in my fingers a chance to heal. I'm also testing with both my meters now, thinking my main meter had gone bad but I'm getting almost the same numbers.
102 - 133 - no metformin yet - 45 units lantus
126 - 167 - no metformin yet - 45 units lantus
103 - 188 - 125 mg metformin - 45 units lantus
111 - 208 - 125 mg metformin - 45 units lantus
132 - 160 - 125 mg metformin - 45 units lantus
117 - 178 - 125 mg metformin - 45 units lantus
127 - 183 - 250 mg metformin - 45 units lantus
116 - 194 - 250 mg metformin - 45 units lantus
142 - 158 - 250 mg metformin - 45 units lantus
What time do you take the Lantus? Or "times"? For some people, the effect of Lantus doesn't work for 24 hours; it's closer to 19 for me. So I take Lantus twice a day, 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. And the doses aren't equal, either; I take 2 units at 8 a.m. and 8 units at 8 p.m. This works very well for me but was determined only after a lot of testing.
