Deus - I did do a fasting test a while back and my morning BG didn't go far. I hear what you're saying and will try it again just to see if the amounts are OK.
What I don't get is how splitting the dose would help here; I currently do the Lantus in one go right before bed, so surely this has the maximum amount of it working at its peak during the morning / early afternoon. If I did some in the morning instead then it wouldn't cut in quickly enough to help with this problem would it? I'm more than happy to be put right on this one.
Jedi - We do sound like we share this one. In the UK, it seems to me like you cannot get a pump unless you cannot control your BG any other way. As my clinic recons that 6.5 HBA1c is the best they've ever seen then I don't fancy my chances. Is Apidra available in a vial? If so, I guess I could use it for breakfast and use the novorapid for other meals... That would get around the fact that I haven't seen an Aventis pen that I like.
RLK - Usually, yes I do. Still seem to skyrocket in the morning. Always have. You should see me on cornflakes...
