Lantus with evening meal

[Lauren8443]

Hi, have moved lantus to 8pm when have evening meal and keep having a low just after meal and then at always high (10+) before bed.

Carb ratio 1:20 at night due to the low that quickly follows dinner...Don't want to do...confused.

Moved lantus to dinner time in order to try and avoid lows at night.

What should I do to even put blood sugars? Confused .

Normally, provided the dose is right, Lantus wont send you low..

Moving your dose later in the evening is OK, in fact before bed may be better option...

I would have a carb free dinner and then take your Lantus as normal, and test your blood sugar regularly right up until bed, and if you can the middle of the night......upon the morning test you know if the Lantus dose is correct....

adjust up or down depending on results......

then you could look at the dinner ratio...

there may be other things to consider but you should get the above things ruled out first as they are quite easy to determine....
