Novolog and Lantus insulin pens
by Linda2962, Feb 11, 2009 11:41PM
I take Novolog and Lantus insulin in the pen forms. I just started taking them like this about 6 weeks ago. I really like them!!! I take the Novolog 5 units in the morning and 5 units in the evenings, with meals. I also use a sliding scale with it. The Lantus I take just before bedtime. Right now, I'm at 25 units, from 45 units 3 weeks ago!!! I've found that when I take both just before bed, my morning fasting blood sugars are really low...like below 80. I've had it drop as low as 53. It was soo scary!! This morning, it was 89, which I was satisfied with. I was wondering if anyone else has had this situation happen to them. Also, what did you do to keep it from going below 80?
