Have now been put on levemir been on it 2 days but doesn't seem to be having affect its still constantly high

Absolutely tired of this now. Went in today for scheduled appointment hoping to get my insulin sorted after having a blood test last week. Turns out nurse is off sick yet again she was also off the previous week. But she still phoned me up later and told me to come in next week and even though...

Nothing they've never suggested a thing

Well I passed out because they were to low and only on 2 units so I'll be going back on it next week. Probably on short acting as currently am only on long acting

12-20

so last Sunday morning I passed out due to low blood sugar and had a seizure from it staid in overnight they took me off all insulin so of course now my blood sugars are constantly high now but I'm not seeing anyone until the 7th of March. I'm not happy with them being this high constantly until...

so type 1 and lately I've been having pain at the top of my right foot and also been noticing I've not been feeling as much on my right foot as I do my left. E.g don't feel the cold as much. I do feel it but not as much on that foot. Maybe I'm over thinking things but never hurts to be cautious...

Interesting you say that. For myself when I went there last week they took a finger test and it was 7.1 and this was before lunchtime so about noon and 3 hours after eating. I said to them isn't that an okay level and they said well for non diabetics it should 4-6.9 so yours is at the very end...

Because my average blood test was normal but I was very much against it as my readings were at 3s and 4s and yes okay I did the odd higher one but never above 10

8 units of degludec each morning

Lowest I've ever gone is exactly 2 and feel totally normal I don't feel it at all. I've had morning levels at 2.3 again feeling normal

so I've been started on insulin but since then my blood sugars have been super low and had so many hypos. Can I be taken off it if necessary or once you've started on it is it impossible to stop because of the effect on the body. I've heard people say you can stop and some you can't

Yesterday 4.1 and today 2.9

I'm on degludec a slow releasing one

so I had argued against the decision to put me on insulin and it seems I was right to do so...last night I checked and they were 2.7 so I ate a fair large amount to get them up this morning when I checked them they were 3.2 on my meter and 2.9 on my mums (I checked them there because I'd nor...

so I'm a very active person and I want to put on a bit of muscle for jiu jitsu training but the problem one is you need to consume a number of calories to do this but obviously as a diabetic eating large amounts isn't a good and supliments are totally out of the question so anyone got any advice...

No I'm just taking one long acting insulin a day

Well I wish they'd ****** well told me if that was the reason. Extremely ****** of now tbh Post edited by moderator for language

Well this explains a lot....I'd been told to only read the sugars but for the last year I haven't been on insulin I just needed to control my diet so I was just looking at the sugars number and I've been eating stuff that's only had 3 g of which sugars but now looking at the total carbs number...

Well I'm in long acting insulin and frankly I'm disgusted if that is the case as my diabetic centre said to only read the sugars label
