Sorry, 52 of Lantus seems just a little high---but that's twixt you and your Dr.

As for breakfast, what is your normal ratio?

For me, I use 1:15 for ANY time Except breakfast, there it's more like 1:8 or even 1:6 depending on what I have.

And by breakfast, I mean the first meal of the day. It doesn't matter if I eat at 5am or 12pm. Whatever the first meal of the day I eat when I first wake up is always gonna be somewhere around 1:6--1:8.
Now, If I intentionally skip break fast and go about a normal day and then eat lunch or supper after having been up many hours, my ratio is it's normal 1:15.

Many folks have to adjust their ratios according to the meal, the time of day, what the meal consists of and what phase the Moons of Saturn are in.

Part of The Joy of Diabetes.

I'd start with a 1:10 ratio and then adjust it either up or down based on Several days readings 2 hours after you eat.
