Hello good afternoon I am new

Diabetic 2 and tonight the insulin premieres.
I am very worried
I have 450 sugar right now
And I must wait at night to put my first insulin.
They told me that the endocrine went to night
I told him that at 8 at most, I go to bed soon
And I don't know what to do right now

Welcome, what insulin is it?

It's called Taujeo, it's slow once a day

Toujeo rather

Toujeo is administered every 24h, you decide what time and normally puts on either at night or in the morning.

That insulin is of basal (slow) action so you will have to wait a couple of days until the dose regulates that value.

450 is quite high so I ask you if in addition to that insulin you do not have a quick to lower that value.If you have nothing to lower it or consult your doctor to see what solution gives you or take a walk of at least 1h to lower that value.

Add, when you get toujeo if you try to be constant.If you put it at 20:00 p.e put it every day at that time.

I can't walk due to a hernia that operate for the third time this Monday.
Moreover, I can only be lying down.
And I have metformin but it does not effect any effect, so they sent me the metformin.
The endocrine knows that I have been with 1550 sugar from 300 to 450 without going down at any time
With three daily metformines

It has cloth, 450 and to wait.I was in 370 and they put me slow on the march.It was in the morning and I still put it in the morning.I do not understand how to wait at night, really.

How much toujeo have you told you to get?
To me with 12 units of abasaglar (another slow insulin) it cost me a week to get up below 200, I warn you.

I have been sent for 15 units and if in three days I do not lower me, to put me 17 units

Well, do not hopeless because it takes

Already after the week the endocrine will call me by phone to see how I am.
I had 450 at 3 in the afternoon and now with an infusion of cinnamon that I have done that they say it goes down, now I am 320

But IsabelBota what you mean cost you to get up below 200. What do you mean that it didn't come down
Or that you get so much that you couldn't move.

No, it cost to go down.I have it pointed out, 280 the first day after insulin, next days 240, 220, 200, 283, 200, and already 150. From there I began to lift normal, until today.But it gave me some important lots, which go down a lot and you can't, that's why I tell you about patience.
When you go down you feel less tired, you'll see.

It seems incredible that they send you home with 450 !!!They had me in the emergency box a whole morning with insulin until they went down to 160 to send me home, and left 380 on an empty stomach.
Toujeo is going well, it is regulated every 3 days going up or down two by two units until your doctor tells you (normal below 140mg/dl).
Try to reduce carbohydrates to the maximum, there can be weight exercises in bed, sitting with bottles of water, that consumes a lot of blood glucose when the muscle rises.

Yes, the truth is that if you can't move and you only have slow (the weights with a hernia I don't just see) you should eat this week without hydrates until you regulate yourself.

Well, thank you very much for all the tips.Today I got up with 285, although the truth I have slept better than ever, because I think that at night I have had more than 500, I am sure.
The weights, I just did sitting, so that I do not hurt me to the hernia, since I cannot make any kind of effort but sitting has served me, I have exercised my arms a lot until the muscles hurt.

Hi Jose, Welcome to the Forum
I also believe that they had to have treated you in emergencies to lower those values ​​and discharge you with a more normal blood glucose.
I don't know what time you put toujeo, but if you prefer to put it before you can advance it half an hour until you arrive at the desired time.

Thank you salad if the time I put on it is fine, but I see that this does nothing at all
It is still very high, to see if when three days pass that says that it goes up two more units, now I am getting 15, last night the first time.
