Do You Find That If You Need To Increase Your Long Acting, The Short Acting Might Decrease?
I have recently started 12 units long lasting at noon, 12 units long lasting at midnight. Seems to be working.
@ CurtisBrockwell. Thank you. 😊My endo has told me I can adjust mine as needed But only to a certain point. . I'm on I guess it's called a sliding scale and I eat about 30 carbs a meal. I didn't think just raising by 2 units would make this big a difference.
I just lowered mine 2 more units last week and my night time lows has decreased probly 85-90%. That's a total of 17units I have decreased since time spring forward. Of course I also do a bulk and mild cut for My gym work so that's part of it too.
I see your point, but I adjust mine as I need to. I don't see the need to pay a doctor $40 just so they can "ok" something I know needs done. The trick is don't adjust in a major way. Take baby steps with it. My doctor knows I know my body better than him and I will update him my next visit. With all that said, if a person feels better letting their doctor have full ride with the reigns then by all means they should do just that. Better to do that than feel u sure for the next few weeks.
