Question:
Should one take Lantus at bedtime when glucose level (Novolog dinner time) drops below 80 or wait ?
Type 2 diabetes for 15 years. 22 units lantus bed time + 3 times 8 to 10 units Novolog with meals. Vegetarian. Lantus starts working in 3 to 4 hours. If I take Lantus when level is low, does it cause hypoglyclemic condition ??
Answers:
I found when I was on shots that if that happened it was good to take your regular dose of Lantus then eat a small snack of carbs and protein. The combo of the carbs and protein will substain your sugar levels through the night.
