My sugar is high most of the time I'm afraid of the humalog, hypos. so I don't inject enough when I eat.....so the highs are making me feel terrible.[emoji17]

Yes woman in Africa just go for the guys with cars and money.....and I'm a poor guy[emoji17]

If you hypo on split doses logically it means your basal was too much also you must get the ratio right. Split dose 50/50 didn't work for me now I take 69/31 to be exact.

My average blood sugar is 15 to 17

No don't feel well at all physically....I feel like dying.

My recent hba1c was 10.2 with blood sugar levels averaging at 15 ......in all my years with diabetes I haven't been under 10 for even 1 straight week[emoji58] it's probably why I feel like the walking dead.

I stress NEVER correct on strong 43% alcohol you will see your demise if you do.....and if you're levels are under 10 snack abit if your going to drink strong drinks. And never drink alcohol if your using actraphane I drank beer on actraphane and nearly died.

No support! I'm emotionaly just struggling on my own with diabetes too. everyone wants a piece of me, but no one cares or can help me with my disease. also had alot of stress at work which also drove my sugar through the roof. Also most healthy people don't understand the nature of this stupid...

No that's not the case! I'm giving up drinking this year I was stupid enough to drink 6 litres of beer yesterday and I almost died. but I'm going to make a change this year please don't be so hard on me......I will make progress[emoji3] and I'm not happy with what I'm doing, in fact i regret...

And go easier on exercise or don't exercise. if your levels have been high for a long time as your sugar can also go up even if your exercising. And never go exercising if you didn't inject your basal insulin.

Don't EVER forget your insulin or your sugar supply. It's not worth going through that unnecessary struggle. I learned the hard way. Exercise is also very draining on blood sugar so be careful..... And never inject humalog before exercise although when I sometimes was very high like 25 to 30 or...

Beer first pushes of my blood sugar then brings it down abit it kinda seems to balance but it seems to bring it up more than it brings it down... So don't carb on beer if anything you might have to bolus abit but first test to see what it's doing to your blood sugar.....if you drink strong...

Wow your lucky you got diabetes only at 32 thats quite old....why didn't we only get it at least after 50

Poor compliance meaning if I'm drunk I forget to take my night time lantus. And I have a habit of eating food and doing a correction instead of injecting before eating or I drink all my beer first then correct the highs later. I have an idea of carb content of some foods..never took the time to...

When I used to use 1 dose of lantus in the morning, at about 2am the next morning my levels started to go up.... meaning if you use it at night levels will start to rise 6 or 4 hours before the time you usually inject.....well depending on the duration lantus lasts for I even think its just 18...

I used levemir lantus and protaphane.....and lantus is the best it's peakless and it has a better effect than levemir..... ALWAYS mix your lantus never SHAKE though.

Use lantus is better than levemir. I use 13 lantus morning and 6 lantus evening ....so that's a ratio of 2:1 or a fraction of 2/3 and 1/3 lower dose at night.

When do you go up on the lantus is it 18 or 20 hours after you inject?? Lantus doesn't cover 24 hours.

Your basal insulin is too little never cut or increase it by big increments. Also I always had continues lows followed by highs when I used 1 dose of lantus a day

I use humalog I inject then eat immediately after but if I'm high I wait 10 to 15 minutes if I'm low 7 or less I eat then inject after. Humalog is super quick so got to be careful.
