Using mixtard 30 30 at morning 20 at night and actos 30 once a time
 
We all have different ideas of what 'little ' carbs mean. I think we would need to know what you are. Many of us tolerate no carbs at breakfast.

What is your insulin to carb ratio?

I don't know what is this mean
 
Have you been taught to count carbs for your insulin doses?
What kind of insulin regimen are you on?
What had you eaten to spike so high? How much insulin did you take with the meal?
 
I take insulin mixtard 70/30
30 iu at day and 20 at night
And Actos 30 one tablet aday
After meals by two hour it was 208 214 for two days
 
Were you told to eat a specific amount of carbs per meal? I don't know much about mixed insulin and nothing about actos but I have read many times that with mixed insulin you need to eat the same amount of carbs and eat at regualr consistant times for each meal. Maybe start a new thread on mixed insulin to get more responses?
 
Okay i need to urinate too much with no thirst so should i go to my dr or is it problem of kidney glucose level not exceed 210 mg/dl
 
Hi. If you are a T1 you should really be on the Basal/Bolus (MDI) regime for best control. This means two insulins and the Bolus which is used for meals is adjusted for the carbs in that meal. I guess you may be in the USA and perhaps insulin cost is a factor or the number of daily injections? If neither of these is a problem do discuss changing to Basal/Bolus with your physician. 210mg/dl (11.7 mmol) isn't very high so I wouldn't worry too much about spikes that high but do try to reduce them if you can. Yes your kidney may start dumping glucose at that level.
