[QUOTE="Gully Jimson, post: 1913522, member: 494252"] I was diagnosed with Diabetes 2 three years ago and have been stable with daily insulin injections. Suddenly, I have been experiencing hypoglycemic reactions periodically within an hour of my daily injection. The symptoms include a severe diminution in my ability to communicate, sweats, flushing. They don't occur every time I inject, which is more troubling. My insulin is delivered from a Lantus Solostar pen. I had been injecting 73 units daily. After the first episode, my primary care provider advised me to drop the dosage to 50 units and monitor my glucose, gradually raising the dosage to get my glucose level down to between 110 and 120. I'm now injecting 59 units daily, my glucose level fluctuates between 155 and 140. My most recent episode occurred October 3. My glucose was 146 an hour after a snack of sauteed shrimp and I injected 59 units before dinner and fell asleep. My wife had to keep waking me to finish eating dinner and then walked me to bed where I slept for three hours. Anybody experience anything similar? Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
