| Welcome Poppa, and hang in there.....14 units of Lantus may be way too low an amount for you. Keep adding your units as your doctor suggested, until you get good morning numbers. Don't be surprised if it climbs and climbs....
I am a Type 2 also and overweight and my basal requirements are 100 units of Levemir a day, 60 in the evening, and 40 in the morning, so perhaps you will have to come way up on your dosage before you see any good results. Don't try and rush it though, it is much safer to take the increases slowly and steadily. Now I am able to get fasting levels between 98 and 120 nowadays. Good luck...and keep coming back to this forum, lots of nice people here to help you. |
