Hi, I was diagnosed type 2 two years ago. Been managing it with diet and metformin. I’m not over weight but had gd with both children, the second pregnancy required insulin. Last June my Hb1ac was 48 so all good. Thursday is was 142 with the blood glucose at time of testing at 25mmols. I was called to the gp surgery to repeat bloods and check the numbers yesterday. At 10am the bg monitor registered Hi which I was told meant over 33mmol and I had eaten two hours previously.
I was seen at the diabetic clinic at the hospital that afternoon, they redid bg and was 25mmols. I was started on basal insulin of 6ml with rapid release to start next week.
Before breakfast I was 19mmol, before lunch 29.9, ketones 0.1 and before dinner 30.4, ketones 0.4. Spoke with the nurse who said give 2ml nof rapid release as basal will take some time to kick in. And to take 2mlmof rapid before each meal if bg numbers are over 12mmol.
These numbers I’m lead to believe are ridiculously high. I’m in full panic mode. I’m not sure I have an ask, I just needed to write it down. They are treating it as LADA as a poor t2 diet would still only raise hb1ac to 70/80.
Not sure what to think, now worrying about complications due to continued Hyperglycemia.
Argh!
