Sugar is 86 mg/dl, Fasting.
Yesterday we went to Metropolitan Opera, so it was something different then usually I use as my routine. I took 120 units in the morning and we left for the Lincoln Center. Then we come back about 6 pm, and I injected another 120 units.Last shot 120 units was before night. So total was 360 units for 24 hours. It is 40 units down as lastly I take.
Another point about my blood sugar, I take a lot of sweeties. Usually I do not eat so much sweet staff. But recently I just burst up and it is too much for my diet. My study is, how high carb diet with many sweeties every day, one day after another would effect my blood sugar. The result is very surprising. Not only sugar went down, but the dose of insulin decreased to keep sugar in normal range and do not let it go low. Really surprising result.
I posted that I lastly I took up to 500 units of insulin. There were two types of insulin, Lantus Solo Star and Toujeo Solo Star. For my big surprise sugar went up and up. One after another day after day I added units of insulin, usually Toujeo. Also I started to feel very ill. Edema went out of control. My legs started to swell as balloons. It is not only the problem they increased dramatically in size. There is pain inside, in the area around bones. The spots were so painful that I hardly was able to keep wear wraps on my legs. I started to suspect that I need more and more units of insulin to compensate Toujeo. Not good way to go. So I dropped Toujeo all at once, and not I do take only Lantus Solo Star.
The color of my legs is much better. There is no wetness or any leaks on my legs. Legs are dry. But still there are wounds, dry wounds, but red spots with pain deep inside. I think that I need some different treatment then I use. Today I ordered compression sleeve. Actually I order all supply on Amazon. MD give me Rx, but there is my duty to find where to find this supply. So, Amazon is only place I can order it. So, I have to pay by my credit card. They do not use Rx and do not work with medical clinics. even my health plan would pay for this supply I have to pay out of my man's pocket all supply I need to safe my legs.
Usually it is very important if one lose weight. Also in all Diabetic's forum it is all the time posted that we have to test blood sugar level. So, there are two stamps in our medical discussions:
See your doctor;
Test your sugar;
Lose weight;
Life style modifications.
It is so boring! But usually it is all what every one educated diabetics type 2. Lose weight!!!!!!!!! Say me, why it is so important? Just a few days ago I got book, re-printed copy of 1917 diabetes tretment and diagnose. In the begingin I thout there is nothing interesting for me. I was wrong. It is really interesting to see :
how treatment was right or wrong 100 years ago;
what recommendations and treatmnt options were given to diabetics;
how they survived and for how long?
When I will start to read this book I will post something from it. One point already attracted me. Author gave many tables. One of them weight of his patients. Usually it was 52 Kg (about 104 Lbs) and very often less then that. People still have diabetes and died in coma. With so low weight diabetic did not survive. The treatment at that time was Starvation diet to extend diabetic's life. The choice, to die due to diabetes, or to die due to starvation, or both.
My recent studies shoe, there is no effect how many carbs I do eat. Level of sugar and dose of insulin effected by something else, but not the amount of carbs or calories.
