Guest guest Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Definitely cut the insulin. I'll be surprised if he does not take you off insulin. Either eat a big potato or some fruit as well as the potato. _____ From: blind-diabetics [mailto:blind-diabetics ] On Behalf Of Mark Ruth Sent: Tuesday, June 05, 2012 1:25 PM To: blind diabetics Subject: my dose at dinner? ok, when I got up my sugar was 95, lunch it was 83 and just a bit ago it is 80. we don't eat until 5-30 which means if I don't snack between now and then and I mostly don't, it will be even lower. to night we will have grilled salmon on a bed of salad and maybe a baked potatoes with it. I know I should not skip my dose of ten units, but how much lower will I go then the 80 where I am right now by bed time? even though I'm seeing the saw bones on Friday morning, I'm having my sister fax in the numbers for the past seven days in the morning. I'm thinking about only doing seven units rest of this week until I see him on Friday. I have cut back on my amount of no where bike thinking this will help to keep the numbers higher, but so far it doesn't help a lot. sure hate to feel like I did last evening again this evening. all opinions welcome. thanks.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 You can usually play around with your insulin and not cause much trouble. Now, with us t1's, we have to be more careful. But as a t2, Mark, you can drop it, see what happens, or even try eliminating it. As we like to say, your meter is your friend!
