my first visit to an indocrinologist today

[Guest guest]

One year later here are the results:

Total units of Lantus dosed per day then 64, now55.

Total number of low sugar reactions then between 100 and 150 per year. Usually

a single 5 gram hard rock candy would relieve the low sugar reaction.Then A1C of

5.7 Now 6.7

Total number of low sugar reactions in the past year 2, One with a glr of either

68 or 69, I for get which. Then I had another one at a glr of 83.

Total number of grams of carbs consumed per day then, not counted now

approximately 180.

I can now go four or five hours between meals without feeling hungry.

weight then 200 pounds, now 200 pounds, essentially unchanged.

Then my goal was a low A1C and Now my goal is no low sugar reactions.

I now have high spikes in my glr frequently whereas previously they were rare.

The GluComplete eliminated the high spikes for a while, but in the last month

the spikes run between glr 200 and glr 325. Not a good sign,

I will ask the indocrinologist what she would recommend to cut out these high

fpikes in my glr's.

my first visit to an indocrinologist today

I certainly do hope this indocrinologist Dr. Welch knows what she is talking

about. I find some of her recommendations rather strange. Of course she said she

is coming at me with an entirely different direction than most of the diabetics

she encounters in her office. Whereas most of her patients have a high A1C level

I have the exact opposite in her opinion, since my latest A1C is5.7, according

to her quite low. It seems that her goal is to increase my A1C to a 6.5 or a

7.0, which would be quite acceptible to her.

She looked at my medications and she did a calculation that she said shows

that an insulin requirement for me would be 24 units of Lantus per day. This is

quite different from the total of 64 units of Lantus I presently take. She

ordered a c-peptide test today and she is prescribing that I only use 1 unit of

Humalog for every 5 grams of carbs I consume.

This recommendation amounts to an extremely large reduction in the Humalog I

presently dose at a insulin to carb ratio of 0.56. Her recommendation amounts to

an insulin to carb ratio of 0.20.

If you multiply every thing by a hundred, this amounts to a 36 point reduction

in the I:c ratio. Quite a large reduction in my opinion, and it is guaranteed to

raise my glucose levels higher and higher, which apparently she wants at this

point, and Later she will address how to lower it. She equates having a

hypoglycemic reaction as being equivalent to having a stroke, and she wants to

ward off dementia in my case due to having hypoglycemia, from time to time,

which does not bother me but scares the hell out of my wife, who claims I have

had seizures in stead of a seizure, a single one instead of numerous ones as she

claims. I admit the single seizure I had, which I do not rememger was entirely

my fault, since I forgot that I had dosed Humalog for supper to cover the carbs

I consumed and dosed the same amount of Humalog a little while later , which

meant I gave me a double dose of the same amount of Humalog to cover a single

episode of carb consumption, which most diabetics know is not a good idea. Maybe

this forgetting on my part is a sign of early dementia, which the doctor and my

wife fears. According to the indocrinologist an A1C of 6.5 to 7.0 in a diabetic

is just as good as a 5.3 in a non-diabetic.I do not have a cost-benefit analysis

regarding A1C levels in a diabetic as compared to a non-diabetic, so I don't

know if this is a true statement or not.

The doctor's concern and my wife's concern seems to be the same, the

prevention of hypoglycemic responses, strokes or dementia. As I follow her

recommendations I can assure you I will have no further hypoglycemic reactions.

She also recommended I increase my statin drug Pravastatin from 20mg to 40mg,

but no prescription was given to me. Maybe she means what she says or maybe not.

I do know I had the c-peptide blood test drawn today and after a while in a

couple of weeks, I am to have a CGM inserted into my abdomen for two or three

days. The CGM is a continuous glucose monitor. So the experiment begins today.

At lunch I consumed 50 grams of carbs and dosed 10 units of Humalog. My

pre-lunch glr was 176.

My pre-supper glr was 186 and I consumed 20 grams of carbs and dosed 4 units

of Humalog.

Bedtime glr is coming up.

She wants me to reduce my Lantus consumption from 64 units per day taken in

two doses of32 units at bedtime and in the morning to 30units of Lantus at

bedtime and 15 units of Lantus in the morning a total reduction of 19 units of

Lantus per day with 45 units per day taken compared to 64 units per day taken.So

let us watch the rise in my glr as we merrily go along with this experiment and

measure the pre prandial carbs three times per day and the bedtime glr for the

fourth time per day.

So instead of having a hypoglycemic reaction two or three times per week the

goal now is to have none.

So I will keep us informed as to the recvommendations and prescription and

tests performed by an indocrinologist, so that we may all benefit.

Happy experimenting, Harry

Correction!

My original figures for Lantus dosed per day is wrong. I always took two shots

of Lantus of 27 units of Lantus twice per day, which would make a total per day

dose of Then, 54 units of Lantus instead of 64 units. Today I take 33 units of

Lantus at bedtime and 22 units of Lantus in the morning, which makes a total of

55 units of Lantus per day. I guess I am loosing it, brain damage and such.

Overall I am now taking one more unit of Lantus each day than I was a year ago.,

Then 54 units of Lantus Now, 55 units of Lantus.

measure the pre prandial carbs three times per day and the bedtime glr for the

fourth time per day.

So instead of having a hypoglycemic reaction two or three times per week the

goal now is to have none.

So I will keep us informed as to the recvommendations and prescription and

tests performed by an indocrinologist, so that we may all benefit.

Happy experimenting, Harry

A few things jumped out for me. I had in mind your manner of approaching a

diabetic question scientifically which led me to have you consider the

following:

First using 180 carbs per day before, now unknown.

second 200 pounds now and then.

Third I would offer that you are very insulin resistant given your insulin

dose and weight.

I should mention that I don't use insulin.

I was reminded of the observation of Dr. Bernstein about the law of large

and small numbers. The short version, large amounts of insulin to chase

large amounts of carbs produce the roller coaster effect. In large amounts

of either there is much room for daily variation and error in tracking.

These produce the large swings of insulin chasing the large swings of

glucose.

When having small amounts of carbs small amounts of insulin are called for.

Any variation or error are correspondingly small and avoid lows and the

damage peaks of either can do.

To address the insulin resistance specific efforts are called for.

The same doc has a program of short duration exercise daily to knock down

the peaks of glucose. Exercise also primes the cells to accept glucose

without insulin and to make them less insulin resistant when it is

required.

The very biggest bang for effort to control glucose and reduce medication

is to loose weight. At 200 pounds, and just to pick a number, 6 feet, one

is still close to the obese range. One can guage their status accordingly.

Large amounts of insulin facilitate easy and rapid weight storage of excess

calories. The kind of fat a diabetic has produces hormones which increase

insulin resistance. It is a vicious circle only weight and fat loss can

aid. With exercise muscle mass is increased which helps overcome insulin

resistance.

are you joking. two hundred pounds at six feet is not bad. two hundred and

thirty pounds at six feet would make you slightly obese.
