And have been on Lantus for about 7 years now. My docs have all recommended my using Novolog for a quicker down in sugars but causes severe lows in me so I do not use it.
But your insights are appreciated, thanks again.
Peace,

ah,ha! yes even that much/little wt loss can change things a great deal!
also, make sure you are using the same place for your insulin shots...if you use your thigh, keep it there, if your stomache, keep it there, etc....i know that most persons are taught to "rotate" sites , but there has been some thought in the literature that each place may have different absorbtion rates...so keeping the injections in the same "spots" may help you even out things.....good luck
