We give our daughter Lantus each evening to help her pancreas last longer. Sometimes, though, she’s low in the morning or she’s slightly high. Do we increase the Lantus and give her a 4 a.m. snack? Is it bad to let her be a little high in the morning?

Since switching to Lantus, my daughter’s menstrual cycles are messed up. Could it be because insulin is a hormone that is affecting her other hormones?

My daughter takes Lantus in the evening, but is requiring extra Humalog during the night to bring down her blood sugar before breakfast. Our endocrinologist wants to put our daughter on a pump, but we don’t want to do that at this point. Do you have any suggestions?

At 107 pounds, my daughter is taking 80 units of Lantus a day. With this increased dosage, she is constantly hungry and is slowly gaining weight. Does increased insulin dosage cause excessive hunger? Do you think her hunger and weight gain are due to her insulin intake or just a result of having diabetes?
