As A Type 1 Diabetic Can You Only Take Lantus Insulin?
A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭

NP told me I did not need Humalog for eating times. She said all I need is Lantus. Is this true? My sugar was in the 300-400 until a doctor said , yes I need to take Humalog at times when I eat.

Hi, Yes you would need insulin for mealtimes. I'm a Type 1 also and was immediately put on mealtime insulin. I was mistakenly diagnosed as Type 2 for a year, I was on Lantus and Metformin. The day I was diagnosed as Type 1 I was taken off the Metformin and put on the Humalog and kept the Lantus. Do you have a Cgm ?
