Day-by-Day. April 12, 2017

85 mg/dl fasting sugar.
Yesterday it was Wound Care clinic. Week before my legs were wrapped and decompressed. So, right leg looks good. Edema started to go out. It was wrapped another time for another week.
Left leg more complicated. All skin already vanished from leg. Leg is all read, still leaking. On the opposite side I cannot see, there is bleeding.
Team did good job. Bandage was removed so nicely, no pain. I am very sensitive to tough. Nurse did job so gentle, so accurate, no pain at all. Then she cleaned up all , washed with worm tower. Nice feeling to be clean. All three nurse and doctor come over to take a look what is going on. Really what they were talking about I did not really get. But then all my leg was re-dressed and re-wrapped in decompressed wrap with medicine on first bandage. 
     I would not say, it was nice and pleasant. I hardly was able to get out of clinic and was happy, my man was right in from door with car. After we got home pain was so severe I was not able to walk, and all what I wanted just sleep.
      Today is morning. Pain eased. I am able to walk even without cane. Not too much but it is OK, I can walk around home. My next visit to the clinic next week. Today wrap still dry, not wet yet. It is nice to be dry. It is even better to be without pain.

I took 320 units of Lantus solo star Yesterday. Today fasting sugar is good, ether high nether low. Day before it was 175 mg/dl with 347 units of insulin in previous day. This is the point. When our ADA and other organizations educate doctors how to count dose of insulin they take into consideration weight or fasting level of sugar. And obviously it does not work. Practitioners left without guidance. They simple have to ground to stand.
     In many medical pro publications and investigations it is presented that dose of insulin determined by weight of diabetic. weight would not change every day. In contrary, level of sugar is different not only day from day, but withing every day. Practitioner cannot relay on this formula.
      In other publications they present that dose of insulin determined by level of fasting sugar. OK. what is this? If today my blood sugar is 85 mg/dl then what dose of insulin I have to inject? None. The answer is, I do not need insulin. But my 85 mg/dl is resulted by 320 units of insulin I injected Yesterday. Usually they answe, It does not matter, today I do not need insulin.
      I am lucky, I do have insulin in my ref. So, I do not relay on any RX how many units to inject today. I simple already injected 80 units, and I am OK with that.
