I have been on insulin a few months now and thought that i had things under control. I take 48 units of Lantus and 28 units of Apidra a day, my numbers were 5.5-6.1 morning, 2 hours after 6.5 -7.1, this reflects my day too. Now i have lost 20lbs in the past three months and my numbers have gone up, morning 7.8 – 8.9 the rest of the day around 10.5 11.8.
I thought if i lost weight my need should go down, i have been eating about 1500 calories a day that’s not much food.
Anyone got any ideas why this is, it’s been going on for two weeks now? Should i increase my insulin a little more, i have done so once already 2 units nothing changed.
