Since my Lantus was on its 21st day the first thing I decided to do was start a new one. But  I have been noticing my dinner pp and my bedtime have been a bit higher than I like (nothing like this) for awhile so I read over the threads and decided to try splitting my Lantus which I&#8217;d been taking at bedtime (10 units) into bedtime and morning, in case it wasn&#8217;t lasting the full 24 hours. Long story short after I started the new Lantus the numbers came down from the extreme highs (a 190 and a 280!) but continue to run high. Thinking maybe that as a LADA I am finally experiencing end of insulin production (I&#8217;ve been diagnosed 2.5 years), I have been gradually increasing the dose and as of today am at 7 morning and 6 bedtime, not very much I know, but 13 is a significant percent over 10.<\/p>\n<p>My post prandials are generally ok; except when I&#8217;ve been high before the meal (I try and add an extra correction unit). It&#8217;s my fasting, before meals and bedtime. Last night my bedtime was 177 and my fasting 174. The fasting is highly unusual for me prior to this week. I had normally run under 100 and was concerned because I&#8217;d been seeing some numbers between 100 and 120. <\/p>\n<p>So my question is should I just assume my basal needs are increasing and keep increasing by a unit morning and night until it gets under control? The other possibility is that the new box of insulin I opened is not potent. (It wasn&#8217;t still frozen when it arrived). I could call Medco and ask for a replacement. But that seems like it would be a coincidence that this rise in numbers started with a pen from the previous box! Oh yeah and I&#8217;m not sick, though I do feel like I&#8217;ve been fighting a cold. (I have a weird immune system where I can feel that way for weeks before it goes away or I just succumb. But I&#8217;ve never seen any rise in numbers like this even when I actually HAD a cold.)<br \/>\nThanks in advance for any thoughts!<br \/>\nZoe<\/font><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi all and Happy New Year!
