| WOW! I'm suffering from a bit of information overload here...
Currently all I'm doing is following my Dr.'s orders.
I was instructed to take the 850 mg of metformin twice a day with meals, and pulled off all the other oral meds...
I was also instructed to take Lantus at bedtime, starting with 10 units for 1 week then increasing by 1 unit every 3 days until I got my FBG down to 140. She said that once I had my FBG at 140 she was going to send me to an Endo to set up a bolus plan for mealtimes...
I'm currently at 18 units of Lantus, and still seeing FBGs in the mid 200s. BUT, that's down from the low 300's...
I did an overnight Basal test when I was on 16 units and at bedtime my BG was 231, at 3:00 am it was 237, and at 7:00 am it was 244. Seems pretty flat to me...
I obviously still need more insulin to get my basal levels lower... |
