Yesterday it was 177, today it was 181.
Two days ago my blood sugar was 164.
Under toujeo my blood sugars were great...81, 119, all in that range.
My blood sugar today at 181 was after a 16 hour fast!
I have had no change in my diet or exercise.
Should I increase my lantus injection (currently 30 units)?

Brief Answer:
Increase the stop 35units!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Clearly, the sugars are poorly controlled. I will suggest that you increase it to 35. You will need to keep further log books taking your sugar at least 6times daily for proper evaluation and more suggestions.
In addition, pay close attention to your diet and keep physically active.
I wish you well and keep me posted with your progress.
