Guest guest Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Hi, , I do a double check. First as soon as I rise, then 45 minutes later or so just before eating breakfast. Depending on what happened during the night, my bg will either go up, hold, or be dropping. If I was high in the middle of the night and took some Humalog, while my bg may be good for that first check, it will usually drop as I move around prior to eating. If my bg was good and I didn't take any insulin or need to take a glucose tablet, it might hold, or it might rise a little. If I had to snack in the middle of the night, there's a good chance my second reading just before breakfast will show an increase. The dawn phenomenon definitely comes into play here, often thwarting my guess as to which way the bg will go. That's why I do the double check. This way, when I start my day with breakfast, I know how much insulin to dose based on not only the food, but what my bg is doing. As I like to promote, you really can't do too many bg checks. After all, your body is doing it millions of times per day.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Hi , Curiosity is the mark of an inquisitive person of which I am one. After 16 years of being a oral pill diabetic type2, I became an insulin dependent type2 diabetic. No more pills to control glr's, only insulin in the form of Lantus for long term basal control and Humalog for bolus control. I avoid exercise at all cost except when I have a bedtime glr over225, then I do two or three sets of 30 sqwats or knee bends, which usually give me an acceptable fasting glr under 120. My A1C as of today was 6.2, which pleases my indocrinologist Dr. Sores Welch. I find her to be a good doctor and I agree with her most of the time with few exceptions of which there are some. I tell her when I disagree with her, and she handles my disagreements quite well, which is a mark of her good character. She uses an adjustible Humalog scale for those times when I run more than 50 points over a glr of 100. I tell her I use her adjustible scale, but I always add one more unit of Humalog to her recommended dose of Humalog. She recommends a bolus of 60 grams of carbs for each meal, but I tell her that is too much for me, and 45 up to 50 grams of carbs usually works just fine for me. She complains I have too many low glr's, but upon further inquiry she says that four low glr's is really not too bad, since I get the low glr warning at around a glr of 70 or 75. All in all not a bad visit to my indocrinologist today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 , I am both a kidney and pancreas transplant patient, but after 9 years with my transplanted pancreas, it is starting to slow down a bit, so I am on Metformin(this is a drug to help maintain my A1c Level in an acceptable number) many type II diabetics take this to hhelp bg's maintain a healthy level. Back when I recieved my pancreas, I was taken off Insulin as a treatment for Diabetes(it is not a cure), and I've have been doing very well. Usually when a diabetic as delicate and brittle as I was, recieves a Pancreas, is usually taken off Insulin, because since the Pancreas is the organ that produces the hormone insulin, and there is a new one there, there is no need for insulin any more;however in saying this, a good healthy way of eating and excerise is still needed, note that everyone is different,ok? so,now that my Pancreas is rejecting very slowly I am taking Metformin to maintain my healthy level, which by the way my A1c is at a 5.6,so it's not bad for me(again everyone is different) my goal, and my Dr's goa is to keep my A1c under 6 at all times, this will help me keep my kidney and Pancreas in full function, and better health over all. Please remember that each one of us on this list is different and has different needs, and with different way to keep their sugars in control, and so what I am saying is just for me and my own personal experieinces. please feel free to ask.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Sounds good Harry. My new endo recommends I take 1 unit for GLR over 200. I just laughed and said that would not do a thing for me. I usually do 3 units for that high. She is insisting that because I am on dialysis that my body retains the insulin for a longer time. This is undoubtedly true, but 1 unit of insulin would not even begin to decrease the BG. _____ From: blind-diabetics [mailto:blind-diabetics ] On Behalf Of Harry Bates Sent: Thursday, January 26, 2012 10:34 AM To: blind-diabetics Subject: Re: just curious Hi , Curiosity is the mark of an inquisitive person of which I am one.

So, if I'm 200, and should be 100 (if it's meal time), i need 5 units.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Good going, Harry! I am trying to get over a case of either the flu or bad food. It has been an awful night and day and I am a little curious as to what my Prodgy meter will say when I test. I drank a glass of chocolate milk and that was all for the entire day. I have felt dizzy but I think it was the flu or whatever. It was coming out at both ends. Maybe it won't hurt me in the long run because I noticed the other day I had gained a couple pounds and was up to 170. The lowest I have been was 161 and a half or something. But I worry about not eating all day. I just do not feel like it yet. Re: just curious > Hi , Curiosity is the mark of an inquisitive person of which I am > one.

After 16 years of being a oral pill diabetic type2, I became an insulin dependent type2 diabetic. No more pills to control glr's, only insulin in the form of Lantus for long term basal control and Humalog for bolus control. I avoid exercise at all cost except when I have a bedtime glr over225, then I do two or three sets of 30 sqwats or knee bends, which usually give me an acceptable fasting glr under 120. My A1C as of today was 6.2, which pleases my indocrinologist Dr. Sores Welch. I find her to be a good doctor and I agree with her most of the time with few exceptions of which there are some. I tell her when I disagree with her, and she handles my disagreements quite well, which is a mark of her good character. She uses an adjustible Humalog scale for those times when I run more than 50 points over a glr of 100. I tell her I use her adjustible scale, but I always add one more unit of Humalog to her recommended dose of Humalog. She recommends a bolus of 60 grams of carbs for each meal, but I tell her that is too much for me, and 45 up to 50 grams of carbs usually works just fine for me. She complains I have too many low glr's, but upon further inquiry she says that four low glr's is really not too bad, since I get the low glr warning at around a glr of 70 or 75. All in all not a bad visit to my indocrinologist today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
