My name is Santiago, 70 years and type 2 diabetes, on average 300, can you help me?

Hello everyone,

My name is Santiago I am 70 years old and I have type 2 diabetes.

I do the diet correctly, I inject insulin Humalog (fast) and Levemir (slow).

Even doing everything correctly and after many visits to the endocrine, my average sugar levels are 300 and there is no way to lower it.

I hope that with your opinions and advice you will help me lower those levels.

Thank you.

@"Yagoba", because if you are doing everything correctly according to the guideline your doctor sent you, then ask for a second opinion, because there are ways to "download that 300".Greetings.

Hi Juanka, the worst is already happening, now the important thing is to endure the same glucose graduation.
Well, if you are all day at 90, 100 is very important and very good for you
Keep like this and many dosses to segir with the regime, which is a pain
As for the vision you have already solved it, that is, you see well as before, it would be importantIt is worth looking at it, if the oculista thinks Oprtuno, he sends you a new appointment to look at the bottom of the eye, more than anything for your tranquility, I found 20 % less vision, but of course I am very old,But you are young, and everything will do very well, like Hastá today
Greetings

I am waiting for the sensors to measure the glucose, because I have my fingers like a strainer, and I can vile more without clicking, in every way here in the forum it is a wonder of staff, they serve me very well. And they give me advice to improve.
I am a rare case, because even and lengthening more the levem as I am advised in the forum
Last night I slept with 221 and today I get up with 350 before eating 186 and now before I went to sleep I would have to look at me again the sugar
But I'm afraid I get out and then I don't sleep anymore, and don't believe my dinner consists of a Vol de Pure rather clear and two mandarins, and when you go to sleep a natural danone 0/0 with saccharin
I don't know what would happen to me if I ate a piece of potato tortilla.
To many days as today, for example, my breakfast has been two pills and 35 units of Humalog and 44 of Levemir, if the insulin carried alcohol, all day would be dizzy
But well I do all the best I can, but the endocrine is happier than one day in the port ventura
Greetings to the entire forum

@"Yagoba" The mood is important and you carry it with a very good humor.Ole!
Quiet with your measures, at first it costs to regulate and find the dose.
I still think that you will have to go gradually uploading the Levemir.
When I debut I put 16 of Levemir, a month and something down to 4 units and now 3 years later I am in 10 at night and 3 in the morning.The rapid of the meals has also risen me.Before I did not put on and now I am between 3 and 4 units for a plate of vegetables, some protein and a piece of fruit.
Little by little my pancreas runs out of insulin reserve.... It must be so... so to assume and throw pa'lante.
If you get up above the value that your doctor has told you, go up 2 units of Levemir the next night for 3 days to see if you begin to lower that value.And so every 3 days until you are in the value they have given you.It is the usual guideline they give us.When the Levemir leaves in two, put more at night and 14 hours later the reinforcement (e.g. 22:00 and then 12:00 noon)
If the puree carries potato you are getting a lot of hydrate and of course, when the 3 hours of the humalog pass, the glycemia is uploaded because you still digest potato in the stomach.
With the freestyle you will see perfectly what I tell you.... My cookies last night look great in my graph...
I went to bed with 100 happier than a partridge and ... then began to climb.... Levemir is what made me get up today.

Hello Ruthbia.
Thank you for your tips, apart from what touches me of insulin, in the early morning I am injected more less than is the slow 20 units 10 in each leg, the result is fatal 318 in the morning at 10, and then within an hourI will take the graduation more or less and I get 145, I hit a large low, all the measures are with the strips, I trust as soon as I get the sensors I can better balance this problem, Javier is helping me a lot, I ask for theCheese, the nurse told me that the best of the fresh doctor, but the nutritionist gave me the regime's guideline and no cheese, total that they form a small mess.
The best thing I think everyone controls little by little and see what works best
But if I am going to tell you a very strange thing, about six months ago I did not bite anything at night and the sugar above, another night ate a danone with a Biscot and the sugar lowered me, I asked the doctor and answered me that thePancreas is very capricious and at the same time dangerous, because if you do not give hydrates the very inbecil looks and not finding him to climb, as the liver tanbien has his function, he influences so good in diabetes, total I believe everything and not meI believe nothing at the same time to become Tarunba, I forgot to tell you that the pancreas is the organ that has been studied less, and have a limit of knowledge about him, said by the doctor, the fact that at night he tends toUpload is very normal, he says that the liver gives off a fluid that causes sugar to rise, naturally he who is fine nothing happens, only affects patients and patients who, as a natural, are sweet axis.
Greetings

I do not know if they have told you about other insulins that cover well 24 hours a day.Levemir is shorter.

Hi Regina Good morning:
Well, the truth is that no.The endocrine prescribed me to let my278, last night before dinner 154, what do you jump? And at night not as anything
What if they told me in the forum, that the Levemir of the Night and the morning, instead of injected it all once, make it sides both in the morning and at night, I provide it and if you notice something of improvementBut very little, now I am in process with the device with a sensor, that I am convinced will be a great help, what happens is that I need a lot of help
Well, it is not easy to know how to handle it, however I have a very big luck, because I have
J: P: R that a lot is helping me, we will not do anything without him
Regina I think what you tell me about insulin with more duration, it could be a possible solution, thank you very much for the comment, next month I have time with the endocrine, I will tell, but we go that all the patients we already knowAnd we form a small family, nobody is very happy, we'll see
A hug regina and thanks for your writing
Santiago

You can fix yourself with the Levemir every 12 hours.Uploading unit to unit, until you get good values ​​when you wake up and before dinner.
Assuming that the fast dose is sufficient to be less than 180 after meals.
But there are currently slow insulins, such as the toujeo, which cover well 24 h with a single dose a day.
Tell him with the endocrine.
Do not satisfy yourself with a glycosilada greater than 7.

For next month I have time with the endocrine, but do not believe the doctor does not like anything to give her ideas at all, but I will try, since every day I go worse, for now I have time requested in a clinic ofBarcelona specialized in problematic diabetics, do not give me a Hasá time on April 3 at 6 in the afternoon, social security already looks like
Well, nothing will wait for the animals and advice you give me in forum, thank you very much to everyone

I imagine that everyone, you know better than me what I will tell, but I want to tell, as I am already with the sensor's tests, at first as everything I like as if it were my first junge
I ate a small sugar caramel, it occurred to meTo the emergency room, right now I am 385 having taken 30 from Humalog before dinner, and before I go to bed I will inject 45 of Levemir, vermos tomorrow how are you

Mind yourself with the glucometer. If you follow so high, you need more insulin.And if
You have more kilos, you will have to lose weight to have less insulia resistance

Hello regina good night, here is the evil that I have at least 10 kilos, and insulin has little effect, but I cannot walk, I had a knee prosthesis and it is bad, unable to walk well, it is an increase in an increase inconsiderable weight.
Social insecurity will give me long, and they tell me that paying 10,000 to 12000 euros now operate, but I don't have this money
With the second operation it would look good, of the disaster that my knee left me

With an adequate regime you can lower them.
Meanwhile, put the insulin you need. If the knee has an operation, they would have to operate again in the SS.

Hello regina, as I identified, I am injected more insulin from the slow lighting, I was to
243 at noon and now it's 8.30 and I'm 167
But I'm canine hunger
But I am very happy, because I already encated to be scared, because yesterday I reached 414,
Greetings a hug

@"Yagoba" That is you have to gradually increase the units of Levemir and Humalog insulin as long as you eat the same amount of hydrates.
If you get 45 at night and 44 in the morning, you have to get 47 at night and leave at 44 for the breakfast 3 days to see with what value you get up.His thing is that you get up below 140. If in the afternoon you are very high after meals you must climb the 44 also, just like first 2 units.They recommend you upload 2ud/day for 3 days to be able to make decisions and know if it is going well or you have to continue going up or down.
Overweight makes the effectiveness of insulin in your body lower.Try to reduce weight.You will have better values.
If before eating you have x of blood glucose and at two hours you are well above X, it is assumed that the humalog you have put is not the right amount to synthesize the hydrate.You can get more insulin Humalog to lower the value at that time but you must find out before how many mg/dl you lower "n" uds of insulin.

When you receive the freestyle writes in the free post.You have to know how to activate it to measure well ... we have truquitos :)

Hello good morning ruthbia
The sensors have already arrived, the first did not place it at the Oprtuno, because I had eaten and lnjected insulin, total that started it to me on the second day because I was crazy, now I have the second one does not go crazy but I have little toLittle regulating what you tell me, because it still makes me very high, and that increases the less and humalog, well rather at night about 4 I get more less than less, and in the afternoon later, and the rapid or the rapid orIt is Humalog at the moment I go up a lot, I am increasing the Humalog, but I still do not control the hydrates, it costs me a lot to interpret it, I hope that with patience and a little more Tienpo I will achieve it.
But for me it is not easy for me.
Anyway I still have the hope that it will improve.
But as I am already scanned, because I have an epiphetic diabetic neuropathy, this is the burned nerves without turning behind, the consequences are pain in both legs without being able to sleep, I went to the vascular surgeon, and I prescribe some pills already for life and the side effectsThey are scrubb
Sometimes I even think it would be better to leave, but luckily the slopes I no longer have them and the constipation tanpoco, but you do not believe you had to go to the surgeon because of the fissure problems in the rectum. I tell you all this because you understand that forDua April 3 have given me time in a private clinic in Barcelona, ​​I am in Tarragona, he is a diabetes specialist, and since I am quite clumsy because I have to go to have told me
I was horrified that the nurse who attended me told him that if I called the Soe, because they did me for May and in the end, crying a little ejjejeje I get a loudly for April.
Do you like my dog?It is my planning love, it is from the daughter but it is more time in my house than my daughter's, it gives you so much love that it seems that it helps me to pass the problems of diabetes, and others
My name is Santiago, Yagoba is my name in Vasco
A hug
