Lantus and weight loss

You might try discussing this with a nutritionist and/or diabetes educator. Your mother's primary care physician likely has a list of folks you can call. If not, try your local hospital because they likely have a diabetes educator or can point you in the right direction.

Hello.
I would first make sure her blood sugars are under control. Have her test her blood sugar in the morning and 1 1/2-2 hours after her meals to see if she is in control. Her morning blood sugars should be 80-110 mg/dl and after meals should be no higher than 180 mg/dl. If she is too high, this may be the source of her weight loss. In the meantime, I would re-visit why she has anemia and how severe is the anemia? The doctor should be able to give you a clearer picture of that to make you feel less stressed about that. If her blood sugars are still too high, I would also discuss this with the physician as well. I hope that this helps.
