I have had great results with this, since I was diagnosed 11 months ago I have been on numerous different medications. My A1C b4 beginning this was 10.4, but now my b/s stays in the low to mid 100's 2 hours after a meal with a lower carb meal plan. The only problem I've had is getting properly adjusted, I take 28 units a day and have dropped below 70 and became disoriented twice, but lower dosages...
I am taking 50 units of Lantus and it is not helping control my sugar at all.

I inject 35 units at bedtime, around 10;00 P.M.If I eat afterwards, I get diareha.. I also take 5 units of regular insulin before each meal if my blood sugar is over 120. I need more help on taking my insulin and eating.

i have been diabetic 25 years and thank the universe for this medication. since cutting carbs and fruit out of my diet completely, i have reduced my lantus from 45 to 25 units. i find it peaks on me after a few hours so i have to be careful. tried levimir and it did not work at all.
