New insulin
I switched to Lantis, a 24-hour insulin, after a visit with my new endocrinologist about a week ago. It has made a huge difference for me. I was having problems with my blood sugar rising as I was sleeping, usually about 3-4 a.m. Usually I would stay up until about 11 p.m. - 12 a.m. before taking Humulin N so it would peak at the right time while I slept.
Using Lantis, I haven't had any more problems with high blood sugar in the morning. I take it about 11 p.m. and wake up in the 90-140 range. What a relief! Many times I would wake up in the morning feeling groggy and sluggish because my sugar could be around 200-250. Lantis seems to have eliminated all that.
It's unfortunate you can't combine it with Humalog -- Lantis has to be taken in its own syringe -- but that's the only (very minor) downside I've found so far.
Highly recommended.

Glad to hear you like it. Ive heard that from a few people. I've been on the pump for 1yr, and when it works its pretty great, when it doesn't look out. The phrase "no delivery" is not taken lightly. For some reason I thought I would be in more control. But just the opposite. When it doesn't work you don't exactly have a back-up of your own. And its not like the supplies are sold everywhere. Its been a very frustrating experience, and now that we found out we can't get pregnant, I no longer have a reason be attached to it anymore. So when I heard about lantis actually working, it was a relief. I can't stand wearing this thing!
