Thanks to a variety of things, including discontinuing Byetta in the middle of this year, my A1C rose to a whopping 9.2. My PCP recommended I go back on Lantus, which I’d been on briefly in 2007. My Endo had other ideas, deciding to up my Actos from 30 mg to 45, in a wait-and-see approach. I didn’t agree, and neither did the PCP… the PCP took over my diabetic care, and prescribed Humalog 75/25 instead of the Lantus/Novolog combo I’d used successfully before.
I started the new regimen last night, 10 units 15 minutes before dinner. My fasting numbers were previously 160-170, this morning it was 149. I have also discontinued both Prandin and Metformin at the request of my PCP, so I expect that to be part of this equation.
Since it’s been a while, and since I don’t remember, can anyone tell me how long it will be before I see results with this new insulin? You may as well throw in any anecdotes you may have about this fine product as well! Thanks for reading.
