@crickard70 Lantus is a long lasting insulin that is supposed to provide 24 hour coverage (basal insulin). When I was using it my provider and I found out it worked better for me to take a fraction of it in the morning and the other fraction of it 12 hours later in the evening. I used a quicker acting insulin (Lispro or Humalog) for mealtime injections. It was also used for the sliding scale correction. That might be what you refer to as “regular insulin”. What type is your “regular insulin”?
The Dexcom G6 has its challenges but has been helpful. I’ve had it about 2 years I think. You still need a glucometer for better accuracy. I have had the pump for nearly a year. Honestly it has been very hard for me to learn how to deal with it and I’m still learning. It is so high tech and has so many “bells and whistles” it is kind of overwhelming. I can’t say that I actually feel any better but my HbA1C has really improved so I guess it is worth it.
