I'm so sorry about your amputation. I hope your walking is not too difficult. Did you have any gradual signs that it would come to that? Were you being negligent in your diet or was it just your own physiological type? Anyway, check your foot every day for cracks or numbness. If you don't...

If you're interested in fiber content of fruits, blackberries and pears are high in fiber.

Hi, I have glyclazide, metformin and Humulin insulin in my diabetic care basket. My numbers vary according to diet, activity, and meds. I sometimes don't need to take the max dose for all, though glyclazide and met I take at least once every day. I wonder if you take insulin every day?

Me too! But I think it is due to a change of medication. I have gone down from 42 or so, units of insulin to 10 to attain about the same average of blood sugar numbers trough the day. I do eat less, but not that much less.

"Freaking out a couple of times" may not be unusual. I couldn't have a better husband, but there are times when my expectations may be too much for him. Maybe this too will pass?

Thank you all who responded. I noticed the change (I lowered my insulin dose as BS got lower) since a new medication. Maybe the drug itself, or its influence on eating less.

Isn't that the way it's supposed to be?

I, too get temperature fluctuations, but I think it is due to the introduction to a new medication.

8.3 I have found a way of sleeping through the night w/out an alarm for hypos: keep bed time bs at 8-9.

11.7 but that may have been a result of half squirting from a broken needle tip;

9.9 too high?

LOL! I have the same problem; same with Ketone strips. I think the manufacturer might supply a pincher of some sort. I drop the whole batch evenly near the edge and pick one out nimbly. It's tricky, I agree. You might find something in your desk that can do the job.

8.1- I think I have adjusted my insulin now.

It's happened to me a quite a few times, when I try to compensate for a hypo and eat too much. But then, it goes down gradually, with the addition of glyclazide and diet.

Good luck with the new GLP-1 medication. It seems that insulin resistance is pretty widespread, regardless of the type of diabetes.

"yet" was the correct word; had to reinstate; waiting for dr.'s call soon; :-(

Sorry for a possible glitz - using a laptop and then answering from here when reply did not appear. Try again: "Wow! That is quite an encyclopedic list of symptoms.! What is the cause or causes for all?"

TriciaWS, I do worry about that for a relative of mine; on 3 antihypertensives. She is falling into two 3 hr. naps per day, and has very low activity, very sluggish. For her age, I think her "normal" bp may actually not be the best for her esp. as her other meds also cause low blood...
