[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2457985, member: 365308"] Hi I agree with all the advice so far and with levels like yours I would be feeling awful. Your Cpep results are confusing me . If they are in the normal range there must be other things going on that are pushing up the blood glucose. It is incredible how the stress of being ill and being treated can create high blood glucose - good old liver just chugging it out so you can run away! If you take insulin, it does not mean that you are giving in. You can still eat low carb and keep all those good food habits up but be taking a background dose. I think you risk damaging your kidneys further by running high. I try to keep my own insulin low (don't make my own) but some days or weeks I need to take more. It is all about balancing the toxicity of the glucose levels versus the toxicity of having lots of insulin. Perhaps you can just try it and see if it makes a difference? [/QUOTE]
