Or will the Lantus make you low? I know this sounds weird, but I'm trying to figure out my morning carb-ratio, and I'm wondering if I have to take Lantus into account. I hope this question makes sense - sorry if it's confusing. If I can clarify, let me know. |
In theory, I think that if your Lantus dose is set correctly you should be able to fast all day and remain steady. Of course, how many things concerning diabetes work perfectly? Do you normally take Lantus in the morning, not evening? There's no harm in trying it out. I'd stop the experiment if you find yourself going too low or high, and I'd check BGs every hour at least during the test.
Lantus is supposed to have a flat curve but I found it to be peaky and I probably would not have been able to fast for long before going to low or high. I ended up splitting my dose into two shots because of that.
