I was on Lantus for a while, ...I'm on Levemir. I was on Lantus for a while, but I had some crazy lows, so he switched me. In hindsight, I actually think those lows were more about the nighttime exercising I was doing (I'd go super low in the morning) than about which basal insulin I was on. So I have no strong opinions about Lantus v. Levemir. <br /><br />But everybody's different, and some people probably don't tolerate the long acting well. Also your husband's dose might be wrong - I have no idea. Apparently you use much less insulin on the pump than with long acting basals, I think I remember reading that in "Think Like A Pancreas". I have to get that book out and reread it. I'm glad he has something that works for him, though.<br /><br />But I also credit those lows for getting me approved for my CGM. Crazy that things have to get bad before you get the good tools.

I think that stuff is poison (ok not really, but kind of). When he takes a break from the Pump and goes back on Lantus his sugars go all sorts of uncontrolled crazy. <br /><br />BTW- visiting from MMW in case your wondering. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-882981712914317717.post-22433073995626108762013-06-14T10:04:34.549-07:002013-06-14T10:04:34.549-07:00Sounds like it was a great visit! :-)
