Since my fifth episode of sepsis, mine averages 15.5 With 20 units of humalog erach meal, and 30 units tresiba at night. This normally brings it to 7 john

Hi, my wife was diagnosed as type 2 diabetic two decades ago, and until recently managed by diet. If her blood sugar level goes slightly above 12, she frequently has diabetic seizures. We went to see our gp, who urgently referred her to a diabetic nurse, who said that her levels were normal. As...

Hi, I suppose my answer has to be that as individuals, every ones experiences differ as do their abilities. I have physical disabilities that prevent me from doing such a lot of things. Does being diabetic mean you are disabled?, not on its own ( in my case ), although it certainly doesn't help...

12.7 at 7am. Last night had 30 units of novorapid and 63 units of Tresiba 100

Hi, after a long battle to get treatment for ridiculously high bg levels post sepsis two years ago, I finally ended up on insulin (humulin I). This soon proved ineffective. I ended up on novarapid before meals, and tresiba 100 at bedtime. I went through all the tablets but due to allergic...

Thank you, I cant imagine a pen a day.. I was tried on some weekly injection that is supposed to increase pancreatic cells, but I had a bad reaction. So, back to the hospital again.. I got asked about hypos. I have not had a hypo or even close, my lowest reading has been 9.5 on 120 units of m3...

Hi, I have been type 2 for over ten years, and for the last eighteen months on insulin only. First humulin I and now M3. I have been on M3 for about nine months, with steadily increasing doses. My hba1c hovers around 60, although when I first went on insulin it was 93. My diabetic clinic is...

Hi, thanks for your advice. I did manage to see my diabetic nurse today, and they wanted to try me on another pen as well. But after some discussion she upped the humulin I. I would not have thought septicaemia could cause so much trouble, but reading up on here it seems I got off lightly. Its...

Could someone please give me an idea at which levels humulin I start to make a difference. I started on ten units, then increased to 16 morning and 10 at night. My bs has been regularly in the 20s, and my last a1c test was just under 100. Any help would be great thanks john

Hi Edward, thanks for your help, and sorry to hear you've also been 'through the mill'. I'm hoping that given some treatment I might regain a little energy, and not feel so lethargic all the time. Metformin does seem to cause problems for some people, I was actually on it pre-sepsis but now I...

Hi, I have been type two for about twenty years, with bad lows of below 4. Last November I had septic shock, and ever since the lows have stopped, but instead my fasting level is rarely below 15 mmol. At its worst it is over 24. I am having to go through the log values in a diary etc again. I...
