I've been on insulin for 2 years, had a lot of hypoglycemiac episodes, tried to stop humalog for 10 days and worked with glucophage xr 1000 mg each 12 h as well as lantus 6 units once a day, still got hypos, so made lantus 3 glucophage once a day, then for 3 consecutive days no lantus and did fasting insulin, blood sugar, cpeptide and hb1ac. A1c as 5.4, fasting b s 102, fasting cpeptide and fasting insulin were below normal significantly.
In fact during first 1.5 week of diagnosis, I used to take metformin, eat 100% home cooked not high carb foods , and walking at least 1 hour daily. Levels were far above 500 mg/dl, then I started mixtard when the meter couldn't read above 600 mg/dl.
If it is worth mentioning, exactly in the period from 29 November to 14 December, I was like taking varying humalog u100 units and lantus once a day 9 pm(before sleeping or could be bedtime) 13 units. Starting the 29 th, I couldn't wake up for my 8:30 appointment at all, ended up waking at 12 , then at night on the same day another occasion I was transported to the university's clinic after hallucinating and noticed by all my colleagues. Next day I did fasting and postprandial blood sugar and due to the day before I didn't take the lantus on the 29 th night. I do not know how possibly I was able to fast for 6 hours while being most of the time at university. H1ac was 5.6, FBS 64, pp 133 which was after eating and taking humalog. On the 3rd of December due to 7 units of humalog and I think the meal didn't have corresponding amount of carbs or was high in fat, approximately 3 hours after injection I woke up in a hospital. On the 12 the, again I couldn't wake up for my 8:30 class but woke up after they gave me a lot of carbs(corn flakes, milk and honey- unfortunately) , although I slept early the night before. On the 13 the I was again hospitalized with dextrose or glucagon, Bs was 16 mg/dl, I didn't pass out but was hallucinating very extensively. During the times which I couldn't wake I had like a dream when people interacted with me, kind of hallucinating. Before being hospitalized, I always felt something wasn't correct but interpreted it as being anxious or sad. On the 14 the finally, without lantus after the 13 th 16 Bs, I lost coordination while sitting with my colleagues but rapidly regained it even without eating or drinking anything. I've been without insulin for less than 3 weeks, but before, I was on insulin from Jan 2015 till end of February 2017. Current mass: 52 kg(significantly falling), current height:173 cm. In this month I tried stopping humalog for 10 days and stay with 6 lantus units one shot daily and glucophage xr 1000 mg twice a tay, but still suffered from many hypoglycemiac episodes. Currently, I take no insulin, but milga and Galvus Met 50/2500 every 12 hours, eat more regularly and more nutrition wise and increasing my protein intake in order to gain weight.
