Thanx I already did try it. I also have it that Lantus should keep your body release as normal in other words between 4 - 6 in morning before eating anything, . Mine stays a little bit higher so I also think the Lantus must be more than the 43 I am injecting now and go little by little more until as high as you 50.

I inject Lantus 50 in the morning
Novolog 20 before each meals

We know that insulin has a long term detrimental effect on the body. Like you I have been through this doctor recommended process of increasing your insulin intact to supply the body what it needs. Look at "Unicity Balance" on the "Unicity Movement" website. Our bodies are magnificent instruments and with the right supplements you can begin to reduce your insulin demands "Unicity Balance" has done this for me. Have a look, I can help more if you are interested

Lantus is supposed to keep going throughout the night and day, its supposed to b like yr normal body release then u top it up with the humalog or in yr case apidra with the meals. I did hv problems with absorption sites, I find my best site is my legs and bottom. Maybe u should try and find yr best sites, it may make a difference.
