| At the moment i'm takng a 7u shot every 12 hours, 9am and 9pm of lantus. It seems to keep me very steady without food, i go for 18 hours without eating sometimes (most weekends) and im absolutely FINE!
I imagine my basal u's will creep up as honeymoon ends
Also, i find that if i have too much lantus i get a stomping headache... like weeks ago when i was using the 2u dose pen, i upped it to 12u's (i hadn't split then) and i have a massive headache in the morning. then i split and had 6u's every 12 horus, all fine, a little high tho... to upped it to 7u's twice a day and it's perfect. YESTERDAY i took my morning 7 u's half asleep, and when i came to change my needle later, saw that the dial was on 5, so i thought i hadn't injected all of my morning dose, so i primed the rest of the 5... nothing came out, very confused, wound it back up to 5 and took what i thought i'd missed.. big mistake, massive head ache all day christmas day, today im fine cuz i dont have too much basal.
It's weird how we all react differently to basal's, too much too little, they all have tell tail signs i guess!
