Hello my husband has been with Lantus 4 Unid for 17 days.He had glucose levels close to 350 and is now with an average of 150 in these 17 days.On an empty stomach is always with a maximum of 120 someday.Already had 3 hypoglycemia, two night and one of day.The header who is the one who takes him has told him that maybe what you do is lower the dose of wetlands (take every 12 hours) and continue with insulin.Is K K Quiten or lower eukreas instead of night insulin?
No idea, but Lantus acts at about 4 hours to have it on, so it gives hypoglycemia. Change the time for the descent to awake and can go over with half juice.In the morning at breakfast it goes well, because it catches you awake and you can take some lunch.
Hello.I tell you to see if you can help me.My husband has been 8 years old and since February also putting 4 units of Lantus at night.I managed to control all your glycemia as this treatment.He took him the header and we have gone to an endocrine and have the C peptide in 0.9 (Dra K says is justito) and AC anti insulin positive.He has removed the Eukreas and has changed to Levemir 6unid in the morning.He has two days and is again with high glycems (260, 230, 190… ..) Is this normal ??I am worried.
I just talked to her and she told me to be less than twice a day when removing wettings, 8 units in the morning and 6 for the Evening He is very overwhelmed pk with Lantus was fine with the glycemia but the doctor says K to have AC positive and a very important weight loss had to change insulin
ricki21 said: you should call the endocrine and explain it!
I changed in his day from Lantus to Levemir and if I need more units of less than Lantus. They do not act the same or in the same quantities. You will have to test until you find the right dose.
But when removing the Eukreas, the Levemir is put in a single dose or every twelve hours?If you are now with 6 units every 24 hours when you spend every 12 hours it would be 6 and 6?
Yes, Levemir does not cover 24 hours, I put 14 you at night at 22:00 and at 10:00 2 reinforcement for the 16 units. It takes a bit is to adjust the guideline.
Try the two doses that endocrine told you.If you stay high, you will need more insulin and if you have dances, you have to go down the dose of a levem.Let's see if in a few days it is more stable
