It is kind of hard with Humalog, I know I am there, I am still trying to work on my basal to perfect them.....also, I do drop too before my next meal, I just wait and see if I do, like for instance today for some reason my post meal was a bit high, it was 163, but then when it was lunch time it was 69, I know so confusing............Humalog has the lovely tail end to it, it kind of lasts too long in the system. I am so curious to try Apidra because it only lasts like 2 hrs so there is no worrying about 4 hrs later going low, and then if you do something is up with the basal insulin.......Are you sure your on the right amount of basal insulin? I learned this the hard way, cause if your not then you can never get it right till you are!!! I am sure you know that, but my dr has lowerd my Lantus to see if this will help since I am constantly in the 50's and some 30's or 40's.........and he also told me it takes 3 to 4 weeks on Lantus to see if the dose is correct so I have to experiment with 18 units now for about 3 to 4 weeks to see if this is the correct amount.......
