Use insulin without medical recipe.

Good, my father has type 2 diabetes, so the pills are taken, glucose controls are never done or left the sweets, I as type 1 diabetic feared what was already expected that I always had the high sugar and that is that when carryingA bad diet today 1 hour before eating was 320 with the pill which was taken when he saw that he had the high sugar low to 290 (1 hour later, at lunchtime) but although I warned him that he did not eatNothing with sugar I end up eating lentils :( :(, could it have taken the pill to use my insulin? Clearly few trial units so that the levels are stabilized. I know that without a recipe it is not theirs, so I have already requested an appointmentMedical to see if I solve it.

@Graponejo, who sees the doctor or the endocrine, because surely it is with those values ​​need slow insulin.
If you now put a fast unit, it would go down a lot .., but ask the doctor, of course.

@Graponejo

A very complicated question and you know that you have DM 1.

In DM2 as your father has, the pill has a day to day but they are not to quickly lower glucose in an hour.That requires that your father stops taking excess carbohydrates and moving.That walks at least a couple of hours.

By the way, lentils are very slow action carbohydrates.In theory for them they are a very successful option.But his carbohydrates will enter very slowly, at two or three hours.That is why they need to take a walk.The same goes for beans or chickpeas.They are very healthy options, because they have slow carbohydrates and have proteins.But they enter very slowly.

If you decide to put a couple of units of your fast insulin to stabilize, you don't have to tell you that you stay with him and Q at two/three hours do a blood glucose control, in case he gave him a strong low glycemia drop.

I hope you improve soon!Cheer up

The problem is that right now it is with respirators, it costs him even to talk a little although he is improving a few weeks ago we caught the COVID-19 and now he does not move much compared to before living in the field he always began to do things.

What a very sorry !!!
I hope it improves soon

Well, being like that, and if it were my father, I would put 1ud nothing more and measure continuously to see if it goes too much, so to be able to give him a glass with sugar if he acts too much.2 You seem a lot to me.
The best I visited the doctor if he cannot move and prescribe slowly.

@Graponejo how is your father?And you, how has the Covid been to pass?
