2. All of the vitamins and supplements I take have a grand total of less than 1 carb. I make sure of it when I buy the stuff. Special Diabetes vitamins and fish oil, enzymes and cranberry with no sugar. Problem is, even when I skip out on the vitamins, my sugar rockets.
There ya have it. With it being 6:15 AM, Im going to proceed downstairs and scramble up some eggs, or perhaps I wont do breakfast. I'll let everyone kow how it works out today. |
It's not somuch splitting it into different times of day, but splitting it into different injections; if you are whacking 50u of Lantus into one place at one time, this can potentially cause absorbsion issues. I know of one member here who swears blind that he can only inject up to 7u in a single injection without getting problems, so he (for instance) would do 7 different Lantus shots.... I know this sounds extreme and I'm not suggesting you go this far, but the more you put in with a single shot, the more your chance of getting uneven absorbsion.
The other thing to keep in mind is that any changes you do with Lantus will not reap rewards (or make you worse!) for 3-4 days. This is one of its most irritating traits. You have to experiment and suffer whilst you wait for it to make its mind up as to whether it's good or bad...
Good luck
