Heidi and insulin

[Guest guest]

I have decided that when I am home alone and not expectecting anyone

I will do without the insulin. I had 68 grams of carbs for

breakfast this morning and gave myself 3.5 units of novolog. Within

an hour I was hypo at 65. This is not working,. I even gave myself

less then what is prescribed. I am supposed to have 12 units of

lantus at night but this evening I gave myself on 6 units. MY BS's

have been less then 150 and that is good. The last couple of days I

have been home completely alone and was afraid to take any at all. I

did monitor my sugars and they stayed between 120 and 180 post

prandial. I am very hesititant to take anything until I talk with

one of the docs, either in Cinci or here. I am seeing an Endo a Dr.

Gray in the north area but he is out of town and will not return

unti later next week. I have emailed but it is not

necessarily his terf although I will meet with ihim this week. He

does worry about me though. That seizure was extremely painful and

IO really dont want that to happen again. I think I would rather be

on the old fashioned sliding scale. It might be a little safer for

me. I was very precise when calculating my carbs and insulin needs

so I know I did not give myself too much. I wonder if there is a

test that they can do to see if the transplanted islets are starting

to function. that would be cool.

Thanks for the words of support Heidi, it really means a lot.

LOve,
