Hi, I am Dennis, I am 23 years old, and I am gonna go right to the topic. (Sorry for any grammar errors)
I am a newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patient. I was hospitalized for 7 days, and yesterday was my first night at home since then. My therapy is 6-12 Humalog before every meal, and 22 Lantus units at 22:00 at night. During my stay at the hospital, the reaction of my body to Humalog was a subtle feeling of pressure on some of the organs that "walked" across the body every other day, and then it disappeared. It was a feeling like someone was applying pressure with a finger to a body part and then slowly moving it across for a minute or two. I figured it was my body adjusting to the dosage and so on, and also to the new diet. Btw, I do not have any damage on any nerves, organs, nothing...my whole body is healthy.
However, my experience with Lantus was not unpleasant till last night.
The dosage holds the sugar in check pretty good, I wake up with a sugar level between 6.0 and 7.5 tops each morning. I went to bed around midnight, and what happened around 2:00 or 3:00 was, a feeling of a fast rising blood pressure across the body. Like I am being blown up. It was similar to the feeling of sleep paralysis, if You are familiar with that kind of thing, only this time, I was able to move. It was accompanied with a subtle temperature change, and It teared me off from sleep. I was sitting on the bed before I even regained consciousness from sleep, I guess, fear plays a big role in it.
Also, my Clickstar Pen was never used before, so after adjusting the dosage, the motor was spinning wildly for a split second, but I heard no clicks at that moment. I do not know If any insulin came out at that moment, and I finished the dosage anyway.
My question is, can it be that it is my body adjusting to it, just like it was the case with Humalog?
Can it cause some kind of damage if I ignore it too much and so on? Is it a allergic reaction ?
I am new to this, and that sensation was pretty scary, so any input would be much appreciated.
Share your experience with me please, and calm my hearth
I thank you in advance.
