The Dr. gave him a Lantus pen and told him to do 10 units every morning. On the 2nd visit 11-30-09 the he was told to up the dose by 2 numbers for every day the BG was above 120. <\/p>\n<p>No one discussed diet changes with us. I started searching for a better way to eat. I found this wonderful forum and we began Low Carbing. Still not getting the Fasting BG reading we were told to aim towards.<\/p>\n<p>Long story short, we gradually upped the dose to 42 units a day. At a consultation with the pharmacist team we were told 42 seems to be a &#8216;sweet spot&#8217; for him. That sounded like a Used Car Salesman line. Then Bountyman started his test to see how long he would last. We got to thinking that we upped to 42 before we had perfected the LowCarb eating. How could that be a &#8216;sweet spot&#8217; when it is based on faulty data.<\/p>\n<p>We dropped to 40, 38, 36, 30, 28 and today 20. For some odd reason, the numbers are better here. Morning 107, after breakfast 108, Lunch was 86 and we missed the 2 hour afterward, dinner was 98 and after 113.<\/p>\n<p>He may try to go back to the original 10 units and see how things do. I kinda think we should stay at 20 for another day to let things normalize. What do you think?<\/p>\n<p>Appreciate any input,<br \/>\nThanks for all the wonderful posts, links and information.
