Hello, I was diagnosed with Diabetes 4 weeks back, though they're treating me a type 1 since my Ketones was 1.7 at the time and I had rapidly lost a lot of weight. My anitbodies have been sent off to Oxford and I'm still waiting, since I seemed to developed it quickly, and the rest of my family are type 2 diabetics.
Anyway, in the first 3 weeks, I could pretty much manage to keep my blood sugar somewhat acceptable for me around 10, by taking 8 Levemir in the morning along with 4 Novarapid. and 6 Levemir and 4 Nova rapid in the evening. And things were fine, I felt okay and had no hypos.
Now this week starts and my sugar is dropping like mad after meals, even without novarapid, and 4 Levemir and another 2 Levemir in the evening. For example my blood sugar could be 6, and then I eat 40g carbs of something which puts it upto 16, and then less than 3 to 4 hours later it's around 8 and dropping. One time I pushed my blood sugar upto 23, and 14 minitues later it was 7.
I can't find a way to control it, and keep things stable. but I tend to wake up with a bg around 7.
The nurses and doctors are just staying, keep taking the rapid, with food, and keep my doses of levemir the same, meaning 8 in the morning 6 at night, which frankly at the moment seems dangerous. Heck I don't fully understand what the levemir even does. Regardless, I feel like I have a constant cloud over my head, since I feel like i'm battle the insulin with food, and not the other way around.
