| When I started lantus the first time they started me out at 10u, but my bs was really high. But I've read of children taking 1/2u of lantus a day, and from my experience with it I can't see why you couldn't take it.
Now it does have a slight peak, and that peak appears to be stronger in some people than others. (I am one of them) I had to take it differently to avoid hypos....but I personally can't imagine a person going hypo on 1 unit!
I'll repeat the mantra that you've already heard...it's what I heard when I first came to the forum and I personally think it saved my life: You need a new doc!!!!!
Considering what I've been through personally, and some of other people's stories that I've read here, it really amazes me that they give some of these quacks the legal right to write scripts! |
