Heya, I participated in this group results thing...
It was going well but then started getting waking lows daily, after reducing lantus, I then get waking highs so can't find a blasted medium.
Spoke to DSN and she suggested taking lantus at 9pm rather than 11pm but I really can't get into that routine. 11pm is a good and stable anchor for me to remember. 9pm, is too eratic and busy. ARGH!!! Plus surely if I bring it earlier, it'll only mean that the expiring lantus will then be out my system earlier around 7/8pm...doesnt seem a solution for me.
...anyway, point of all that was, I'm not posting my results as they are too high in the morn and until I sort this blip I'm not a happy bunny!!!!

Meant to also say I am still working with Rob's suggestion of adding a few more units of novo with dinner to compensate for expired lantus...and taking the lesser of the lantus which doesn't cause waking hypos!!!!

Can't remember if we've covered this or not but do you split your lantus ?
We're playign a similar game here at the mo, since I started getting higher BGs pretty much all the time. So I'm upping lantus in the morning and dropping it through the night, while upping evening humalog and watching the other doses closely. I often feel like the more I know, the more I don't understand. I'm still trying to fathom what insulin really does and doesn't do so I can try to tie it in with the other 10,000 variables and actually make sense of everything. By the time I do, they'll probably find a cure and it won't matter any more 🙄

Oh I packed that in some years back Robster, it's akin to banging your head on a brick wall. But they are right - it is nice when you stop.
I stopped by changing to twice-daily Levemir.

I'm happy to exlore all possibilities 
But the bruise on the forehead looks nice in subdued lighting.😎
I'm thinking about a few options at the moment. But being where we are, the level of support (and expertise) is limited. I've got my review with nursey coming up so I may discuss a few things and see what's said.
But I'd still like to know some of the secrets of the inner stuff. I'm not one to just let my organs get on with it without letting me in on the game. I've nurtured them for 46 years, so we've grown quite close.🙂

Morning everyone, a 4.4 for me this morning

8.8 today. Was a little cautious with a correction last night and could have hit nearer 5.x if I'd added the extra unit.

7.0 - Back up to 7u lantus in evening.
One thing this thread illustrates (sadly, only us who already know) is how dificult it is for any diabetic to acheive the magic 'normal range' with or without meds, despite making informed adjustments.
It would do a few professionals good to read it and see if they can come up with a magic formula to get us all on track. Somehow, I suspect they won't though. 🙂

Actually Rob, that's not a bad idea. Perhaps we could collate the data and send it to DUK. Though what they could do with it I'm not sure.
From this it seems to me that whatever type we are, and no matter how well we try to control things, the Big D has it's own ideas. It would be fascinating to know what's going on internally that influences the odd changes so many of us seem to see day by day.
