I am going to need to do the duck basal testing real soon. My experiment with split does basal is over for now.

I did not make it thru 2am last night.
The problem is, when low, I am violent - even my adult son didn't want to try to hold me down. I was thrashing and gone... gone. Finally I came to after an hour and emt visit. Is anyone else violent at night time basal low?

This is the second awful low from lantus I have had in 4 days. I am going back to full dose at night - which didn't leave me with any problems. Until after I do the basal test thing I am done with the split dose experiment I have been doing for the past week. Plus I'm gonna drop the lantus to 16 or so.

Question: Has anyone else noticed that a lantus low is really awful to recover? I mean, it takes maybe 10 minutes with humalog low, but the lantus low takes almost 30 minutes to get sane again. Stumbling, operating at 15 minutes, but back to sense takes 30 minutes. I do not like lantus low at all.

I let Stuboy say it all again: "It's weird how we all react differently to basal's, too much too little, they all have tell tail signs i guess!"
