This afternoon I had a najor hypo, down to 42, and had to make three extra trips to the bathroom, about 30 minutes apart.<BR/>..????????............Minnesota Nicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02170043587010711783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20714644.post-66687709104179769732007-04-06T22:45:00.000-04:002007-04-06T22:45:00.000-04:00Hello Kathy.......If you took Lantus 2XDay and "tw...Hello Kathy.......If you took Lantus 2XDay and "tweaked" it so that you would still be in the Target Range as far as the morning was concerned.......would you not then be able to eliminate the Regular Insulin?<BR/>BTW, the "missing ingredient" for ALL of us w/T1DM is C-Peptide, which should have been added to the Insulin Analogues by lilly or Novo-Nordisk and was not. C-Peptide has been shown to prevent T1DM Complications as well as act upon treating them. It also makes the use of Insulin more productive. It could even be injected separately. I will write about this more in the next coming weeks.BetterCellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13667917240368089110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20714644.post-2836717722245236412007-04-06T21:09:00.000-04:002007-04-06T21:09:00.000-04:00What an interesting concept.

At that time I can guage very well whether my dawn phen. is getting ready to rally. I actually take 3 kinds of insulin - Lantus, Humalog, and Regular - the R is used in the middle of the night because of its 3 hour peak - then I can wake at 5 in target range. My dr. thought I was crazy to go to the extra effort - my HMO will not pay for three different insulins so I have to do the R out of pocket. I don't mind.<BR/>As far as polyuria goes, if I'm moderately high, say 250-300, it seems like my urine output decreases. If I'm over 300, I have to be there for at least a couple of hours before I have the polyuria (fortunetly this does not happen too often). I am going to pay attention to this in the coming days and see if there's a particular pattern with a hypo.Minnesota Nicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02170043587010711783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20714644.post-5369968182700612532007-04-06T17:25:00.000-04:002007-04-06T17:25:00.000-04:00It can become quite complex Sarah.
