Day-by-Day. November 28, 2016

Blood sugar is 91 mg/dl.
      Perfect sugar. Yesterday it was 300 units of insulin. I worried I will have low blood sugar at night or early in the morning. Sugar just perfect. Say me, why? Really, how number on the glucose meter and dose of insulin connected? They do connected, but this connection far away from being simple line. After that say me, if it is really possible to control blood sugar with diet and activity? Or with any combination medicine in one fixed shot? I posted Yesterday, it is a new medicine developed to combine GLP-1, such as Byetta or other of this family I name all together as 'Trash Medicine' and Insulin, long acting insulin such as Lantus Solo Star? Would this medicine really work? Of cause it will, the question is for whom. Would it help diabetics type 2? Not at all. Would it help Medical Organization to collect more money? Yes, it will.
      I try very hard to find the way, how to dose insulin, what is connection between numbers on glucose meter and dose of injected insulin? Still, this connection flee away.
      In present time diabetics' treatment regime concentrated on the level of sugar in blood without attention to dose of insulin injected during the day before, or week before, or so on. I see, this connection in different way. I do not have good computer to use to document my data. It would be better to see how dose of insulin and numbers on glucose meter run day after day in single lines. There are so many studies what to eat and how to hold table spoon. There is no studies how to dose insulin, day after day, one shot after another. They ask us, do I control blood sugar or I am not? So simple. They collect money, and I collect diabetes complications.
       I tried to use another needle to administer insulin. It is short needle, just 5 mm rather then 8 mm. And what? I got pain with every injection I take. Why is this so? Shorter needle do not go so deep into flesh as it is with longer needle. Why with shorter needle injection there is more pain then with longer needle? I do not use these needles anymore. It is not only pain, but there are scars under skin.  I used the same spot to inject insulin with longer needle, and almost never have an issue. With shorter needle, less then month and I have to stop to use this needles. Big surprise for me.
      It works with every issue regarding diabetes treatment regime. I do not take Novolog, type of insulin which bring glucose numbers down soon after shot was taken. It is the type of insulin we must take with meal, bolus how it is named. I took my meal, injected insulin, and what after? Sugar simple drop and I got low blood sugar. I have to eat to resolve the problem. I do. Sugar going up. I inject insulin. Sugar drop, ..... . I stopped this regime. Now I take only Lantus Solo Star. Regardless what dose I need, I inject only Lantus Solo Star. Yesterday it was 300 units. It can be 400 units, and more. The difference only, how many shots to take. I can take as any as it will take, but insulin would be only Lantus Solo Star.
