Hi
i have recently come off glicazide and onto M3 30/70 insulin with a Lilly pen. The nurse started me on 10u twice a day. My sugars rocketed , averaging around 17. After a week it was increased to 12u...no improvement......now its 16u...i,m still getting readings of 16 2 hours after eating ( a brown bread beef sandwich and a tomotoe ).....i have been told to increase by 2u a day until my sugars come down
Does anyone have any idea of what dosage i should be aiming for.......it seems to be taking a long time to get my sugars down....2 weeks tomorrow in fact................on glicazide i was getting readings down to between 12 - 8 units
I weigh 85 kilos if thats makes a difference. My nurse is now on leave until 2/02/13
Thanks
