I took 36u Lantus & 6u Novorapid - this is what my consultant suggested. He said to tweak the Novorapid as needs be but to keep the same dose of Lantus each day. I don't think this is correct & plan to test my basal rate in a few days time.

I have not been told to use a insulin/carb ratio or a correction factor (I never had this before as I was on pre-mix) - I wanted to discuss these with the diabetic nurse.

My B/S is now 4.5 so I think everything is looking better - phew!
