Would not eating after getting insulin help make it lower? I know this is a stupid question, but it's a legit one. Because I can't get my sugars lower than 16 even though I have a lot of insulin. And what do you do when your diabetes specialist is out of town and your NP is on vacation for the...

Only went down to 27.0 don't really wanna go to the hospital yet. Not even finished my water. Should I go now?

Okay thanks. I am testing my blood sugar now.

No I am not in the UK. I am in Canada. And I've washed my hands and I'm going to test again because I did a bit of exercise and had a bit of water. So I'll recheck and post on here and probably go to the hospital.

Thank you so much. But I do have insulin at my home, but I only have orders to do it twice a day and the nurses say they can't do anything without anymore orders. And I'm already on a pretty high dosage of the three insulins I'm on. It's just frustrating to still have high sugars and I'm on such...

My diabetes specialist says I could be a type 1.5 and my NP should test me but she said she talked to him about it but he doesn't want to do it because it will cost money to send it away. And I don't have much money to begin with. I've already had diabetic ketoacidosis and it got under control...

27.4 before lunch. Felt sick at breakfast. Been overly tired these past couple days that I can't really function. Heart racy. Might test later and update. Not one doctor or diabetes specialist to call. One is off for the rest of the month and I won't get in to see him till August 6 and my...

Yeah, I'm going to see if the new insulin changes will work. And I'm going to test again tonight. I got 14 units of NovoRapid and 52 units of Tresiba. But it's almost like, the more insulin they give me, the higher my sugar goes.

Yes I've already had DKA and I had to go back on insulin because of that. And supposedly I'm a type 2 diabetic. I read that's it's very rare for type 2 diabetics to get DKA. So that's why my diabetes specialist thinks that I have type 1.5 but the problem is my NP. I have KetoStix in my bathroom...

Yes they are giving me NovoRapid (is a sliding scale, got upped to the maximum of 15 at supper) and Novolin (got increased to 8 units) at breakfast. NovoRapid and Tresiba at supper. The reason why I'm not doing my own injections is due to a safety issue, I suffer from very bad mental health...

Thanks for being so informative.

Yeah, and I tested my blood sugar level just a couple minutes ago and it was 27.3. My NP cut our appointment short today because his next patient was there so I didn't have the opportunity to ask him again.Don't know what to do. So I had someone call the nurses that do my injections to see what...

Had to change my insulin doses for the seventh time this month. Still pretty high blood sugars. I said to my diabetes specialist, "I'm losing hope." I saw my nurse practitioner too today. Apparently he does not want to test me for type 1.5 diabetes cause it might cost money to send it away...

I am on iron pills for anemia too. I don't know what is making me tired. The only reason why I'm on iron pills for anemia long term is because whenever I do get off the pills I will always get anemic again. So it can't be anemia because I've been on iron pills for over 6 months. And we're trying...

I have three types of insulin. And I'm on Tresiba and it does make me sleepy. But as I said I am on three types of insulin and I don't really know which one is making me tired.

Tonight my blood sugar was 24.5 and earlier at supper it was 22.2
