Hi Everyone,
My mom is recently diagnosed with diabetes. Her reports are as follows:
FASTING BLOOD SUGAR : 21 MMOL/L
POST PRANDIAL BLOOD SUGAR : 28 MMOL/L
HB1AC : 12%
MEAN BLOOD GLUCOSE : 19.44 MMOL/L
Doctors have asked her to get admitted, but my mom does not want to get admit. Doctors have suggested to take 4 shots of insulin 15 - 12 - 12 - 12 - 05.
She had bitter melon juice and her sugar level reduced to 111, some of the doctors have suggested not to skip the last shot of insulin (05). Some of them suggests to continue with the medication suggested. Since she is not hospitalized, how to change the insulin intake/dosage?
Is it ok if she skips the shots if her sugar level has lowered down?
This is the first time we have encountered with these problem, totally confused and nervous what and how to proceed? Shall i hospitalize her?
today's report:
her fasting sugar level was 13 mmol/l today after 12 hours of insulin. doctors have advised to reduce the insulin unit by 10, earlier she was on 44 units per day.
i wanted to know if it is a good sign? is she recovering? are we in condition where in we dont need to take much tension? or is it still at alarming level?
thanks!
Please suggest. Waiting for suggestions.
Thanks and best regards,
Amal
