Things don't always run so smoothly. If I can keep this up for 6 more
weeks until my next A1C, it'd be wonderful to see a nice low number
there too, and help convince me that I control the horizontal, I
control the vertical, and it's not all just random chance where my
average numbers end up.

Good work and wishes for continued stability Tim.

I recently switched regimes too from premixed Novolog 70/30 -- I know,
training wheels, not appropriate for T1s, etc, etc., but I couldn't
afford two kinds of insulin, didn't want to try N or R -- to Lantus
and Humalog. I haven't seen any weirdness from the Humalog yet, and
the Lantus seems to be nice and stable for a full 24 hours. Last A1c
with the mix was 5.4 and this month I had a 5.7 on the new regime,
with fewer lows, and much more meal flexibility (Yay). Cut way back
on the emergency Smarties stashes. The biggest improvement is better
exercise tolerance because of lower background insulin between meals
from the Lantus. The protamine in the mix was peaking at really bad
times of the day for me.
