Insulin Addict?

Realized that I have not been blogging for coming to a year. Mooncake festival is coming again. Not sure if this year I am going to buy anymore mooncake because last year, we took quite a long while to finish that box of mooncake. Mom said sugarless mooncake not nice. :(
Anyway, why I am back now? Because I went to do my regular checkup with Dr Tan. As usual, I did not have food diary and no glucose readings for her and my dependency on insulin is still very high. Right now, my Glargine intake is 16 units every morning and my Humalog is 6,8,10 during the day. Sometimes I will have hypo in the mornings or when i am sleeping. Worst still, I might not even know I am having hypo when I am sleeping!! That's why Dr Tan keep asking me to cut down on my Glargine intake (bare in mind that i used to give myself 20 units of Glargine!!!!). The challenge here is, to cut down to 12 which is supposed to be the normal Glargine intake for me. But since I am so addicted to Insulin, then Dr Tan challenged me to reduce it to a 14 first.
I did that today. So let's monitor the results :-)
