[QUOTE="dancer, post: 1901321, member: 110569"] [USER=462792]@miffli[/USER] along with everything else, it looks like you have some dawn phenomenon which raises blood sugars in the early morning. Your insulin won't help with this as only a quick acting one can correct high blood sugars quickly. One thing to remember about long acting insulin is that it can take 2 or 3 days for a change in dose to take effect. I think I read on another post that you've had pus from your gums. Were you given antibiotics for that? If there's still infection there, it will cause high blood sugars. You said the doctor from hospital did not reply to your e-mail, so why not send another message, reminding them of what's been going on, and what your blood sugars are doing now? Perhaps you should be seen at the hospital clinic rather than at your GP's clinic . . . Suggest that. [/QUOTE]
