Why Sugar Get Low and what to do with it. November 22, 2017

Sugar is 137 mg/dl.
       It is a little bit too high for fasting. I need it around 100 mg/dl. Yesterday I injected only 300 units of Lantus Solo Star. I was ill all day long. I did not  take last shot. Simple, did not have energy to take it. I went to bed early and fall asleep instantly. My hope was that 300 units would be enough for day, and I was wrong. I need more then 300 units.Today even it is only 10;30 and I woke up at 8 am I already took two shots 80 units of each. I try do not put all eggs in one basket at once.
      I all the time hoped that dose of insulin will go down. It did not happen. Dose of insulin go up and up. I have to consider 400 units, and probably even 500 units. I am lazy now. I do not take reading every hour. I am not so brave to start a new regime without study. Probably a little bit later I will take these studies and make needed adjustments.
       In one case of autopsy I read that girl died in coma due to diabetes. Even small dose of insulin dropped her into low sugar. What I do thing that her sugar was so high that she needed special regime of insulin therapy. It is not the case she did not need insulin.  It is all the time supposed that if sugar is low then insulin is high, It is not. The small dose of insulin was good fer this girl. Then she must take not Glucose or sweet tea, but chicken brow, something work to eat. At the same time the another small dose of insulin, and so so on. Small dose of insulin, good nutrition, not sweetness or candy or anything sweet, just nutrition. Soup is good. It is all the time best way to keep sugar under control, especially when sugar drops sharp and unexpectedly.
      I cannot give good scientific explanation why this regime rather then what used in hospitals in modern time. It is my experience, and this experience is real, it worked. I was in condition closer to the final breath. And I was able to manage it. This is all the time biggest mistake our MD educate us. It is all the time said, when sugar getting low we have to decrease the dose of insulin, and this regime never works. Why? I do not know. But it does not work. I tried to find out when I have to start to decrease dose of insulin, and I sill not able to get it. Right now dose of insulin getting up and up. Yesterday 300 units give me fasting sugar 137 mg/dl, high number.
      Another good reason to think if really I need to decrease dose of injected insulin is that probably insulin not only convert food into energy as we all educated, but also make a hole patch work. As We all do know insulin is released by Beta cells. When the amount of these cells decreased the sugar in blood goes out of range. Then more Beta cells destroyed then less insulin is available to be used. This is why diabetics type 1 take insulin, to replace limit of insulin secretion with the insulin injections. Diabeties type 2 is not acute but chronicle type of diabetes. The distruction of Beta cells takes place long time. At the time when diabetic finally get insulin there are very few active Beta cells remained. Of cause it is only mine own speculations.
      Now with insulin injections more and more beta cells returned to the function. Still, more is needed. There is why dose of insulin increased. It is process of active recovery. In stage of recovery we still ill, not healthy. We also need more rest and more attention to the health. Probably we even can be more ill then before process recovery started. What happened after surgery? One is ill, cannot even take care of him/her self. But still, it is temporary, and it is way to recovery,
     It is usually every one do know, Hope Die Last.
     I do have headache today. It is rainy day in NYC. Probably I do have BP.
