I am A 79-Year-old overweight man diagnosed some 35years ago although I suspect I had diabetes long before. I have been stupid and completely neglected treatment. I have taken meds as prescribed but have not changed my lifestyle. I have just had a big fright with some sort of wound on my foot which I understand was caused by diabetes, The surgeons are very concerned. I have resolved to change my ways with a proper Mediterranean diet, no alcohol, and no chocolate or sweets. Already I see the benefits with belt in 2 notches! Walking is a problem at present until foot is healed. I have reduced Tresiba from 45 to 30 and Humalog from 20 per meal to 5 and blood sugar levels are good - I even had a few lows.
Two questions:
1. From the change 10 days ago, when can I get a HB1ac to act as a base?
2. Is there any way to regulate Humalog other than trial and error?
