I take my bolld sugars of a morning fasting and they are like 167-191, I take 1000 mg of janumet and 18 units of lantus before bed, of a morning I take 20 Units of lantus, 45 mg actos why am I having problems regulating my blood sugars, I also take 7 units of novalog after every meal??? Do you have any other sugustions??
Just over the past 6 months or so, they gave him LANTUS, in addition to his meds. (Actos, Glypizide, Metaformin) He takes the meds in the morning and the LANTUS at night. Here is my problem. He has a lot of highs and lows.
Just 3 weeks ago, his average was 115. This week a different story.
He has been in the mid 200's and he has not changed his diet.
This morning, before breakfast, his sugar was 337.
He is very depressed and I feel so bad for him.
There are several people here who have had expereince with blood sugar problems and treatment. Some used stuff like metformin or even insulin throughout treatment. My expereience was that high blood sugar levels went away while on treatment. That was a result of the red cell killing abilities of the ribavirin.
What I found was that metformin and actos were primarily given to those with type 2. I am in no way disagreeing with your treatment or your doc's instructions. Please feel free to enlighten me about these 2 meds. I have also found that Lipitor is used for individuals with high cholesterol. (I am not analysing you or your doc, I just wanted to know more about these meds.)
After finding out about the low progesterone, what was the Doctor's plan of treatment?
BG before lunch 174 two hours after is now 265 with my shots.
If you are not experiencing any side effects and it is bringing down your blood sugar continue with it.
A A1C of 6.6 is too high. An A1C of 7 is way too high. THere are serious complications to high blood sugars (Note that truely normal A1C would be < 5.0), and it is correct to agressively manage blood sugars to keep them as close to normal as possible.
My tests indicate to Drs. I am or am becoming type 1 and concerned with weight loss so placed on insulin. Lantus -5 units. Sugars are controlled and A1c in the 6'es. The big problem is that I am basically foggyheaded all the time upon awakening. Unclear, drunk feeling although not like I am going to fall down. they have checked adrenal glands, thyroid,etc. there seems to be no pattern with sugar levels. Could it be the suger levels, or insulin itself?? Or something else.
I am following his diet. I swear it really works, and with it I can get away with far less insulin and have decent blood sugars than on a traditional diet.
If you send me a private message, I can also refer you to an online support community (we are not allowed to provide links here), which can give you great input and support on getting your sugars under control.
2 is normal and mine was +12. I have been put on a very small dose of Lantus as well! Am I becoming Type I? I know that I am insulin resistant, and borderline Type II...my highest A1c within the last year was 6.2. It usually stays at 5.8 or 5.9.
Will the Lantus stop what the antibodies have started...will my pancreas completely stop making insulin due to the antibodies? Can anything stop it? I know continued weight loss and exercise will help Type II, but what about Type I. Am I doomed?
I use Lantus cartridges in a Humalog pen. And it works perfectly. For me, a major benefit of switching from NPH to Lantus has been the reduced variability in action. And delivery via the Humalog pen appears to be very consistent.
Hi all,
My hubby was dx'ed 2 weeks ago w/ diabetes II. His regular doc put him on 30 mg Actos daily. At 1st hubby's blood sugar was a whopping 390- now it's down to 76-90 in the am and no more than 180 even after lots of sugary food. Obviously the blood sugar is well under control now. The problem is, my husband's vision is going crazy! I know that diabetes can cause vision problems when blood sugar is high, but the way it's happening doesn't make sense.
As for starting your Lantus in the morning I would check with your endocronologist. Lantus is a 24 hour insulin, so I am not sure what effects taking it in the morning opposed to taking it at night would be, but of course ask. Also ask your endocronologist about taking your humalog before meals, I am not sure if you meant that or if you do just take it before bed time. And are you eating a snack when you take humolog before bed? Humalog is a quick acting inulin, usually taken before meals.
The insurance company and the pharmacy say its because of the wording of the dosage. His dosage on his lantus only went up 4 units a day. I get the same exact box as I always did but now its costing me double. His Humalog also went up $10.00 for no reason anyone can think of. Instead of paying $95.00 like I thought it ended up costing $255.00. We live paycheck to paycheck and since moving to a small town I haven't been able to find a job.
