I take Lantus Insulin 15-30 morning and night, my sugar level is always 110-115 morning fasting. But it shoots up to 300 after food. Why?

Dear friednd

I am taking 28 units at night and my fasting level is less than 100. You may require to increase the dosage and regulate your food. Please check up with your doctor and under his advise increase the dosage step by step with your usual food until reading reaches the desired level. Of course it is a slow process.

Isn't that obvious that you are having wrong kind of food?

u should take Lantus insulin at night only and start to take Humalog insulin before both the food.

pl be informed that LANTUS is a 24 hrs acting insulin .U should not take it in 12 hr period. I will give u a mrthod/ u shift the base ( in y axis) by taking LANTUS/ meaning ur sugar level is shifted to a lower level by a constant. For e;g say from 250 to 130 .NOW any addition to metabolism by breakfast, lunch , dinner cannot be taken care off,that is why ur level after food shoots to 300. To tackle this u may have to take short acting insulin like ACTRAPID /mixtard/ novapan having higher short acting MIX/pl consult ur DOC immy/kN

Continue night dose of Lantus. Stop morning dose of lanctus. Add glymipride-1 and metformin-500 combination before breakfast and before dinner. repeat sugar after 15 days.
