I was diagnosed with diabetes about two years ago and at first was on alogliptin, and around six months ago this was doubled. Now Ive recently been put on Lantus insulin, but it doesn't seem to be doing much. I dont know enough to question the nurses etc,I dont know what my hba1c is but I know my averages in blood sugar this 7 days as the agamatrix thing calculates it for me on my phone.Mt average fasting bloods are 11.4 and my post meal bloods are 18.6(mmol) I of course know this is bad, but am unable to do anything as I have swallowing difficulties and I live on special milkshakes until I get my PEG Feed. Im only on 12 units of Lantus insulin once a day PM. Am I on the right thing? When I have it, four hours later when i test before bed, the blood sugars have gone up, not down. But it does go down in a morning, but only from 17.2 to 10.1 etc.I know this is no good, and my nurses keep upping by 2 units every week or so. Are they right? Am I on the right track? What should I be arguing for? I dont know enough about it, so please educate me! Thank you, Kara xxx</blockquote>
