Tuesday night, I switched my Lantus over to a once-per-day shot instead of the split doses I'd been using previously. I started with 22 units of Lantus at 8pm. I knew I'd see some highs, but I didn't want to risk an unexpected night low after making the first switch.
And I did see some elevation. I ran mostly in the 180-290 range all through Wednesday, which wasn't as high as I was expecting really.

After 19 years of type 1 and a lot of time spent "in the industry" (through work, volunteerism, and social media), I'm always surprised when I learn something new. Not the kind of new where I discover a different way to take my Lantus (split the dose?), but the nerdy scientific kind of new about how my body is working (or not).
But I actually learned several new things at the conference that I'm happy to both put into practice and see out over the next few years.
