Hello, I am Lilian I am 54 years old, last year in August I was detected by the office with a diabtes mellitus 2 and treated with metformin, later for seven months I did not have time to the doctor for the office, there I went to a private doctor who prescribed meSlow insulin and oral metformin, in August of this year a new doctor attended me and asked me for exams which threw the new diagnosis, it has been very complicated I have been changing the treatment weekly without compensating myself with measurements of high glycemia and some very important decompensations.Well for two days they are dealing with Lantus and Apidra.I did not even understand the instructions of the Apidra, the doctor told me that every 10 grs of carbohydrates I had to inject an Apidra unit.This is my food scheme Breakfast 50 grs carbohydrates - collation 15 grs, lunch 60 grs, ounces 50 grs, dinner 50 grs and collation 15 grs + a unit each time it exceeds the 140 of emotogarotex.My query is and please help me, I must inject the six times that as or only breakfast, lunch and dinner?Thank you and a lot of strength to all those who have this disease
Welcome to the forum, Lilian. Theoretically, if your basal insulin (Lantus) is well adjusted you will have to put the fast insulin (apid) every time you eat.Anyway, it is the specialist who has to guide and control you.Then, when you learn well how insulin affects you, hydrates, etc., you can adjust yourself ... Greetings.

Hello and welcome to the forum! I tell you my case in case it serves as guidance, but as they have already told you, it is best that the doctor tells you what you have to do. I about 5 times a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner, more in mid-morning and mid-afternoon (these two about 3-4 hours after breakfast and lunch respectively).I punctuate the fast only at breakfast, lunch and dinner.In the other two meals I do not sulked me insulin, and as very little (a very small snack, some cookies, a piece of fruit, ...) since otherwise I arrive very high at the next meal.This amount of food I speak of I am modifying it based on: if the following meal is missing a lot or little, how much sugar I have at that time, the exercise I will do or not, etc., always looking at the nextFood arrives with a good value. Like everything in this world of sugar, everything is to try, make mistakes and gradually take the trick. I repeat, this is guidance, without further intention.
You above all are patient and think that no matter how much it is missing, in the end you will take the trick and everything will go well.
