I'm a type 1 for 32 years
I'm taking porcine isophane and just in the last 2 weeks started porcine neutral instead of novorapid, which I found too severe!
I take 2000mg metaformin each day to try and help my insulin resistance.(on this for about 4 weeks now)
My bloods are all over the place!
I haven't eaten any starchy carbs for 9 weeks, I have slowly (2lbs only in 4 weeks!)lost a stone in weight, though have another 5 to go!
here are my blood sugar readings-similar food eaten each day!
before breakfast b. lunch--------b eve. meal---- before bed------ thru night
4.1-------------------hypo-----------4.8
10---------------------12.4----------9.4--------------------------------hypo
12.1(16.1 2hours after!)3.4-------8.6----------------4.7
8-------------------------3.9---------10.3
9.7---then 4.8---------8.9 ----------------------------15.4
17.1------------------------------------12----------------- 7------------ hypo
7.9-----------------------17.4--------14.9.............3.5
16 -----------------------14-----------hypo-------------9.1
15.9----------------------11.8---------7.3
Crazy isn't it?
I've eaten salads most of the week,I don't eat meat, a bit of fruit-apple a day 2 clementines 1 small banana each morn before a brisk 3/4 hour walk! I ate 4 jelly babies at each hypo. Today i have been sky high all day! driving me potty!
I've stuck to 10/4 units am,4 units neutral lunch and 10/4 dinnertime, until I get used to my new regime!
I have never had stable blood sugars!
I wrote this a couple af days ago on another topic, got no replies!
I have spoken to my diabetes nurse, she told me to reduce evening Isophane down to 6 as she thought I was going hypo through night.....this resulted in me being 12.8 at 3am and 21.3 when I woke up! She also had said that my readings weren't too bad!!!!!??????
I have had to take extra shots of novorapid the last 3 days just to let me function!
yesterday I took 16 units isophane /10 neutral at 7am, 6 units of novorapid,8 units neutral at lunchtime and then 14 isophane/6neutral at 7pm
I was 21.3 at 7am,8 before lunch,9.2 before eve meal, 8.9 before bed and 4.1 at 3 am, fearing dropping lower I ate 3 jelly babies, it was 10.7 at &am, and has stupidly now risen to 19.3 before lunch!!
I'm REALLYstarting to struggle!
these high sugars have been going on since january, many of you may have read fromer pots by me!
Can anyone shed any light?
I inject somewhere different every tim, there are no problems with my injection sites! :?:
