I am 80 years old. I am having type 2 diabetes from 30 years. I am taking 30/70 premixed insulin 40 units before breakfast, and 20 units before dinner. I eat one cup cooked rice-vegetables diet. My fbg varies from 70 mg/dl to 120 mg/dl. My ppbg varies from 140 mg/dl to 250 mg/dl. My ppbg value gets reduced to near fbg value in about 12 hours. However, I am very much worried about my wild bg fluctuations. I get hypoglycaemia of 60 mg/dl to 70 mg/dl on some days. Many persons here have suggested to change my insulin type from premixed insulin to bolus/basal type of insulin. As I have already stated, I do not propose to change my insulin type, and cooked rice- vegetable diet. This is because I am suffering from gastroparesis. I can not decide upon the bolus insulin dosage 3 times every day, before my every meal, to keep my bg levels in good control. BG levels are also caused by, stress, exercise, hormones, insulin resistance, insulin produced by pancreas, and glucose produced by lever. At my advanced age of 80 years, I am resigned to the fate, and face the diabetes problems, as and when they strike. I do not have any diabetes complications till now even though I am having diabetes from 30 years. However, I may get diabetes complications any time in future due to my wild bg fluctuations that I am experiencing presently. Even if I get complications in future I may not live that long to suffer from them due to my advanced age of 80 years.
