Today sugar is 118 mg/dl.
Why it is so important what is the level of sugar today? It is important to get the feeling how deal with sweetness of life. all our medical industry looking for sugar in our blood. All medical treatment based to drop level of sugar in blood. And according to ADA it is most important part of our life style is how do we eat. They pretend that with Starvation diet we can reverse diabetes, which means that our diabetes, potentially fatal medical condition, resulted by excess of eating. Not nutrition, they never mentioned nutrition if it is right or wrong, but eating habits, addiction to food and sugar, sugar detox. They love to compare us with alcoholics. I prefer compare diabetes with car.
Every one of us, Americans live with car in household, at least most of us. This is why car is easy to understand how it work. To move car needs some parts that would do the job. With time more and more different parts added to the car equipment, to make our driving easy and pleasurably. Human body even more complicated then modern cars. All parts of our body connected one to another and have to do complicated job. Any failure in this parts lead to failure in body function. Now, how simple calorie counting can pretend to fix complicated issue with health? If think logically, it is easy to see, it simple cannot be true.
For me it is essential to find the regime how to deal with diabetes type 2. I am diabetic type 2. In 2011 I injected my first insulin dose. Since that I on insulin therapy when insulin supply available. When insulin supply terminated, I cannot buy insulin, it is too expensive for me, so I am ding. Slow, painfully, and long, but no way to resolve high blood sugar numbers with any starvation diet. It simple do not work.
I go from high level of sugar in blood such as over 599 mg/dl, highest limit of my home glucose meter can detect, down to 38 mg/dl, lowest level my glucose meter show. When I try to say it to doctors they usually lol me out. In their opinion it cannot happen. Finally I do not try to get any answers to my problem from any doctor. I just try to get medicine I need, and happily for me I do have it right now, all what I need so far.
So, I try to find out the dose of insulin I have to inject every day, a few times daily. What really interesting that dose of insulin really has very complicated connection with level of sugar in blood, more complicated then it is easy to see. It is all the time presented that if sugar is this level then dose of insulin must be this.... . In reality it does not work in this way.
Yesterday my fasting blood sugar was 69 mg/dl. I injected 219 units of Lantus Solo Star. So, my expectations were that fasting sugar would be low. Not at all. It is even higher then Yesterday. Also days back dose of insulin was 160, and fasting blood sugar was 70 mg/dl. All speculations are broken. Sugar and dose of insulin connected for sure, there is not so simple line in this connection. This is why I connect diabetes with car. No one of us will do the speculations how much gas we have to put into tank of our car., we simple have meter and check it when we have to full out tank of our car.
