Diabetes and shortness of breath?

If i had blood glucose of 15mmol before eating, how much would i need to inject? I know the more carbs a meal has the more i need to inject, but how do you figure that out?

You might want to test at early morning(2ish) As sometimes if hypo through night your liver releases glucose which can show as high blood sugar in the morning. Good luck

Hi,

I was diagnosed a couple of years ago. I recently moved to an area of the country where there seems to be little to no help for diabetic patients. My GP just passes me over to the practice nurse who tells me to test more each day and inject more insulin.

I have tried everything and my blood glucose levels are still really high, this morning my levels were 31mmol.

I have been struggling for breath for a while now too, heart palpitations and severe anxiety. It feels lke i can't get a satisfying breath of air into my lungs.

I'm only 31 and not overweight or anything, BMI of 21.

Could my shortness of breath be caused by my high levels? Has anyone else experienced difficulty breathing, or at least the sensation of finding it difficult to catch a breath.

I was a smoker for about 12 years and quit recently, perhaps it could be my lungs clearing up?
