They have never tested me other than fasting glucose and a1c (which is all over the place) I see an endo next month.are you definitely type 2 your picture shows a young healthy looking young woman have they tested your antibodies. type1 or1.5 or mody i would want to be checked for.
I eat pretty healthy most days during the week are the same meals since I meal prep and workout. I ended up taking 10 units of fast acting insulin (novolog) and my fasting this morning was 234 still high but better than my fasting of 380 yesterdayhi there @rockeerox
sliding scale will be most successful for somebody with a lifestyle that is fairly fixed ( not a lot of variability )
meal times should be pretty similar each day and assuming your carb amounts are fixed as well ??
in answer to your general query about using sliding scale --
So basically if I understand correctly, I test first then use the sliding scale of units to inject prior to breakfast? Thanks in advance
the answer is yes
I'm in florida, hopefully the endo will be able to investigate more next month.I'm with paulus1 on this one, I wouldn't bet my bottom dollar on you actually being T2. Where are you located? UK?
Mind you at the end of the day so long as your blood glucose is controlled within reason, it doesn't matter what the Docs think you are.
Test, test and test, oh and keep a log of food as well as BG tests and injections.
Honestly, my bgs stay high. Doesn't matter what I do or eat, at least the last 6 months, on this round of meds. My mother said that at least I'm on insulin now, so if I'm something other than type 2 then I'm on the road to proper treatment. Mom has been type 2 diagnosed for 19 years, but she's never had issues like me and I'm tons more healthy in food and physical activity. She can eat carbs for dinner and have no issues the next day. Its frustrating to watch. I'm in florida.Just read your other thread.
Yes endo will investigate more. I'm guessing dn needs info from a sliding scale method to give to endo.
Many type1s use a little of metformin to help with insulin resistance. Let's see what endo comes up with?
Test test and test.
The bigger the picture they have the easier for them to diagnose you properly.
Any hypos before insulin or lowering of bgs through the night? Before insulin injections?
Are you in the UK?
It will be very interesting to see what the outcome is.Honestly, my bgs stay high. Doesn't matter what I do or eat, at least the last 6 months, on this round of meds.
