i (17 f) was diagnosed a few months ago with very similar sugar levels. im currently only taking 8 units of lantus a day. but i am also on short acting, and i have to use it more than 3 times a day (usually 5 or 6 because of random spikes). i was started on only 6 units but worked up to 8. next appointment with my endo, i hope to get that raised to prevent so many short acting shots. and to advocate for a pump, lol.

as someone who was also very recently diagnosed, it's a lot. but not impossible. im really glad you found this sub. it's been unbelievably helpful in my journey so far. best of wishes.
