I live in Karachi, Pakistan and recently we had a whole day( from 10am upto 9 pm of no electricity)due to power station problems. It was getting pretty hot so I had to store my insulin in the freezer section just to keep it cool. In the evening I had to go out (important reason) for about an...

Hello. I inject lantus 15 units one hour before bedtime. The recent problem I'm having for the past 4 days is that I have been going hypo at before going to sleep, so I have to eat a snack. The problem with that is i go a bit high before breakfast. Should I adjust my lantus time and take it a...

I recently had my blood tests done a1c n all. And my tests showed that I'm having some hyperthyroidism activity (although my T3 and T4 levels are normal) which is causing adrenaline rush, feeling shortage of air, muscle tiredness and in turn spiking my blood sugar levels. My A1C is 6.7. My...

My highest I've seen till now was 18.1 first thing in the morning. I've had ever had anything like that ever before but in the last 6 months it's been getting worse even with diet n exercise plus no snacks or high carb meals Yesterday had a 7.7 and today it is 8.0 (all fasting readings)[emoji33]

I have the same problem of post exercise hyperglycemia. I do 75 mins of cycling and today my blood sugar level was 92 but 1 and half hour later it was 118mg/dl.

I was trying to find out the same answer as you. But I think the basal rate (Lantus) is mainly used to keep bs steady at a certain range especially fasting around 80-130 mg/dl . I read in one diabetes book "that it is not the job of short acting insulin to help decrease blood sugar at night...

I have been taking winex( cephalosporin) 400mg once daily for the treatment of a small abscess type skin problem and have noticed slightly high levels of blood sugar when I test before meals. Could this medicine be causing sugar to go high? Does this type of antibiotic have any effect on diabetes?

Yes it happens to me alot of the times. A bit of blood coming out after each injection everyday at least once. Don't really know the reason i guess it could be because of veins getting in the way of injection site. Just take alcohol or cotton and press down hard on the bleeding it will stop in a...

I bike for an hour at moderate levels and my levels are around 4 to 6 before exercise and 2/3 hours post exercise they can get around 8 and even higher which is strange at times. I usually don't eat high carbs or calorie meal that have an post exercise affect or do strenuous biking for extended...

Im a type 1 diabetic for over 18 years and my exercise of choice is cycling. The problem I've been having is trouble controlling POST WORKOUT HYPERGLYCEMIA, where blood sugar levels are much higher than I would normally have in the entire day. Does any body know what to do in those times??I...

I've had strong heart beat feelings quite a few times and it's true that blood sugar levels increase when that's happening more than 126 or so. I'd say it could be due to stress,worries or anxiety as is the case myself. I'd suggest getting a bp machine n checking ur blood pressure at the time...

I've been struggling for a while with this weird habit of eating a couple of biscuits at night whenever I wake up for a washroom trip. I've tried a few ways to stop it like using a food journal to log down what I eat during the day but for some reason this habit refuses to go away. It's gotten...

I'm a type 1 diabetic and on occasions I have a bad habit of eating few biscuits in the middle of the night which increases fasting/morning sugar levels.Any ideas with tips or info on how to break this bad habit of late night eating? I'm desperate to stop this binge eating at night habit it...
