Welcome Natasha. It sounds like you've been just about run through the wringer. We just got another member from Croatia last week, and it sounds like your country isn't completely up to speed when it comes to Diabetes. Or at least, some areas/doctors. Once your sugars even out (hopefully they will and soon!) pay close attention to see if any of your symptoms go away. If they don't, then you need to perservere until you find a doc that will work with you to find the cause.

It may take you quite a while to get the exact right dose of Lantus figured out and working for you. I think it took me several months. When starting on/making changes w/ Lantus, you have to wait 3-4 days to see a correct result, so give it some time.

I'm one of those lucky folks who got stuck w/ 2 injections of Lantus a day. Try it with the one dose, and see what happens for now. It's probably going to take your body a while to adjust. I would almost suggest going back on your old insulin, but it doesn't sound like it was doing you much good.

How often do you test? With which meter? and how have your A1c's been? (assuming they do them over there) Everybody here is happy to help, so dive in with your questions and you'll get TONS of feedback.

Nice to meet you,
HeatherP
