I have had pretty bad problems with Hyperglycaemia ever since I was diagnosed 2 years ago, constant med changes etc that left me feeling **** and worse until I finally bit the bullet about 3 months ago and switched to Insulin injections (Basal Bolus) of Levemir and Novo Rapid and quite frankly I am due a review on the 8th (have to go get my blood tests done tomorrow last HBA1C was 7.2 and the one before that was 6.9) and the amount of insulin I am having to inject scares the proverbial out of me.....Like at the moment 80+ units of Levemir a day and about 50ish units of Novo Rapid (currently having to use a 1unit:4g carb ratio!!!)
I know something is wrong with my system as regards to Carbohydrate absorption but I don't know what but I have fairly bad gastric damage from a very bad bout of Clostridium Difficile that left me permanently disabled with FAPS, IBS and whole load of other "syndromes"
For example my blood sugar was OK last night but I had 2 slices of toast about 9ish and woke up at 5 feeling like death warmed over, bursting bladder, burning eyes and wooden tongue all the classic symptoms of hyperglycaemia and with that much insulin in my system!, it just doesn't make sense to me and I think I need some advice pretty quickly preferably before my eyesight goes from dehydration and having a wooden tongue for the last 6 weeks really doesn't ingratiate me with the girlfriend either.
