Hi Jimmy,
Premixed insulin requires you to eat on a fixed schedule, and you cannot easily change your insulin dose.
Separate dosing of Lantus (long acting) and Humalog (short acting) where you inject each insulin separately (also called MDI for multi daily injections) is much more flexible. You test and adjust your basal insulin (lantus), then you dose your fast acting for each meal based on how much food / carbs/ protein you eat.
By eating less carbohydrates you will need less insulin. If you need less insulin to maintain excellent blood sugars then you will slowly get to your optimum weight. If you are serious about this I can strongly recommend the book "diabetes solution" by Dr. Richard Bernstein, you can google this. His book explains how to safely use insulin and diet to manage blood sugars and weight.
Hi,
yes, considering that diabetes is a condition where our bodies can no longer handle carbs properly, limiting carbs is a logical approach.
Many people are having success. Including me. I have been eating low carb for about 10 years now, and can get normal blood sugar levels (hba1c of close to 5) though I do still require insulin (I am not T2).
Dr. Richard Bernstein wrote a whole book on this called "diabetes solutions".
Depending on your results from your blood sugar meter you may need to eat much lower carb to manage blood sugars. This is called "eat to your meter" appraoch. An alternative low carb approach recommended by Dr. Bernstein is detailed in his book "Diabetes Solutions" and also discussed on Utube at "Bernstein Diabetes University". He recommends typically about 30 g of carbs / day mostly from non-starchy veges.
You will need to experiment and see what works for you.
Thanks so much Mr. Gatorade for your comment to the long distance runner re:Dr. Bernstein's Regimen and 'exercise technique'. By googling "Bernstein Diabetes" as you suggested, a whole new world of info has opened up, and it seems that there is enormous hope for people with diabetes to avoid many complications and achieve excellent control.
I have ordered Doc.
There are diabetic education classes all around and scads of book and just try Googling "diabetes diet" for something sensible like a day or two of meal plans. The big thing is carbohydrate counting so get a carb book. If he takes Humalog insulin, dose would be 1 unit per 10 grams carb. If not, you must watch the simple sugars carefully. Small amounts of fruit are okay and larger amounts can be tolerated after eating protein.
Hi,
For type one diabetes, insulin dosing can accelerate weight gain. On the other hand insulin is essential for your health and well being. Thus you want to use the minimum effective dose of insulin so that your blood sugars are kept normal for health, and your insulin levels are not excessive.
I am type 1, I find that eating a low carb diet (I follow Dr.
Hello,
if the medication works, I imagine it would improve in days - weeks (though you should ask your doctor this question).
One of the best ways to protect your son's kidneys is to have tight blood sugar control and maintain blood sugars as close to normal (80-140) as you safely can.
I recommend that you read "Diabetes Solutions" by Dr. Richard Bernstein. His approach to tight blood sugar control is relevant even to children.
Hi. The answer to this question is that maybe you can be free of symptoms.
The way to ' reverse' type 2 diabetes is
1. Adopt a very low carb / ketogenic dirty
2. Optimise body weight
3. Exercise daily
4. Maintain 1 to 3 permanently.
The above can work for some, but not all people. The above will certainly make your diabetes more manageable.
Hi. Very difficult. Are you on a low carb diet? Low carb diet is the best way to minimize lows and highs. If you are constantly having DKA your blood sugar must be so very high. I suggest you read the book "Diabetes Solutions" by Dr. Richard Berstein. It teaches you how to use and fine tune insulin doses. It also teaches you how to eat very low carb. There is a facebook group called Type1 Grit. Please look into that. Also, U-Tube "Bernstein Diabetes University".
Low carb diet will help her lose weight. It will also reduce her insulin requirements (so she needs to monitor carefully).
There are many online links (you will need to search as I'm not allowed to post links here) if you google low carb and diabetes management.

Dr. Richard Bernstein: Diabetes Solutions. He has more than 40 years working as a dr and has developed a system of management that will help your daughter achieve normal blood sugars.
3. You may go to U-Tube and look up Bernstein Diabetes University. There are more than 200 lectures about diabetes management. Look about the one for parents who have newly diagnosed children.
4. There is a facebook group called typeonegrit.
I am a long distancer runner training for a marathon. I have lived with type 1 diabetes for thirteen years. I use the Bernstein dietary regimen and "exercise technique", which consists of eating small amounts of dextrose while running to compensate for the hypoglycemic effect of exercise. The aim is to keep blood sugar normal at all times. It works. Google "Bernstein diabetes" for the book.
