my husband has been type 2 for 23 years and over the last 3/4 his control has been very erratic. In addition he has been diagnosed with dementia.
He was on Novomix insulin but has taken a bit of a needle phobia and was fighting with me beacause he thought four needles a day were too much. After lots of problems he was put on Lantus once a day 80units. Pluse Metformin and glicizide. However for the last week his BS has been VERY high, yesterday he flatlined at 22. Got up this morning and it's 19.4 and he feels quite unwell but can't describe what's wrong. He's quite sleepy too.
I have to collect his new insulin on Monday, being changed to degludec to see if he can get better control.
Should I call the out of hours doctor today? I'm quite concerned that he's so sleepy.
