Im diabetes 2 since 3 years a go, I used pills at the begining and 2 years ago my doc changed my treatment to insulin. Some days I wake up and my BS is high as today, was 225. Im using an app for counting carbs, yesterday I ate 220gs or carbs and my insulin dosis was 28 Levemir. I don't understad what failed, I know one unit of insulin works for 10gs of carbs. What could be the reason my BS is high? Every day I check my meals very carefully.
I have recently changed to new insulin. I am now taking Levemir in the morning and at night taking Apidra. Since I have changed to this insulin my blood sugar is going upby alot. I was at 176 this morning and within a few hours it was at 296. This has never happened before and I have not changed anything in my eating. Why is it going up so much and how can I make this stop?
I, too, had a lot of trouble with the Opticlick pen. It was just unreliable in that it would sometimes leak with injection so I never knew if I was getting the proper dosage. I switched to Levemir (flex pen) a couple of years ago, and it has been fine. Both Lantus and Levemir are the peakless insulins. They provide your "background coverage" all day long (24 hours). When you eat, you need the fast acting insulin like Novolog to act quickly to cover the meal.
30am: 7.9. Then I took one thin slice of cookie in the idea that, body has enough energy to start the day. Morning after getting up was 8.4. It improved, atleast it did not go to 10 again.
The n I took 13 unit humalog and ate 150 gram brown rice cooked and 2 ounce of skim milk (about 40 gram carb)
Sugar after 1 hour was 8.2, Close to two hour, I started to feel shaky , My eyes are blurry. I thought that, sugar is going down to 7. But it was 9.2. Then why I was shaking?
The Levemir is NOT on a sliding scale. It is a given does once a day Or twice a day. 12 hours apart.
is his 224 after eating or first thing in the morning before food or drink?
I am an insulin dependant diabetic. I was out of Levemir for several days and I tried to control with Novolog. Wednesday and Thursday I was running over 600. Yesterday I got my Levemir and started taking it right away. It took most of the day to get down to 350. I was feeling real sick all day. Sleepy, dizzy, nauseous. muscle weakness. I slept from 6:00 pm until 10:00 am. My numbers were up to 500 again. I got them back to 300 by 3:00 pm, but have continued to feel just as sick.
t giving him any the lantus people wants me on toujeo cause their patent was coming up so they stopped sampling it!!!! He offered me a levemir sample he said it had less weight gain than lantus and was the same., plus the levemir company still samples, I have been on this stuff for three weeks, I don't feel sluggish after taking it, I feel great, and the pen is nice!
I have type 2 diabetes (2 yrs). My A1C is 7.6 I am presently using Levemir Flex Pen (22) before bed. I take synthroid for hypothyrodism (10 yrs) and recently started taking crestor for high cholesterol (which is now within normal range) I 58, female and over-weight. Question: I want to start taking 200 mcg of chromium picolinate to help with my diabetes. Is this safe to take with the medications I am currently taking? Also, when is the best time to take it.
My father has had since he was 17 nad my sister was diagnosed at 13. Both are now on the pump. They love it.
As far as my husband.......he found at at 27 and is now 31. I think his ENDO stinks and we are switching. Listen to all of his meds:
6 pills in the morning (actos, metaformin, glipizide, etc.). 23U Lantus at night and he just added Humalog (i think that's it). He takes this after each meal.
Don't you think that is a little insane?
I have recently started taking Lantus at night and Humalog before meals. After about a month my stomach pain was unbearable. It began with chills at night, severe dry heaves, (unable to throw up due to reflux surgery) and diahhrea. My doctor said he thought I had a virus. I could not figure out what was going on. I usually gave myself shots in the upper stomach area, so I moved the shots to my legs with no improvement. I even tried Levemir, but after two days the pains came back.
I have diabetic complications. Metformin and Diamicron harmed me while I was skipping the meals.
Some times my whole body burns, specially when blood sugar started to increase or decrease quickly.
I have adrenaline weakness. I have intense anxiety, because of complication. Alwayes feel bad.
Please help

I've been taking Victoza since May 2011 and i've been experiencing shorthness of breath since Nov. 2011, I've had several tests for angina and my lungs and everything are ok. I was wondering if it could be the Victoza that is causing the shorthness of breath. I have diabetes type II and I'm taking Metformin as well as insulin. The Victoza has done wonders, it helps me have a better control and I have lowered my intake of insulin. Can someone help me?
Years ago I had one and the only time I had any type of relief is when I soaked in a very hot Epsom salt bath. The hotter the water the better, better it helped with the throbbing pressure.
I really do sympathize with you because I know how painful they are. Didn't they lance it for you? The minute mine was launched the pain was gone.

KCBS said the trail was visible from Los Angeles. The helicopter crew described the missile's location as 35 miles out to sea north of Catalina Island.
The U.S. Navy is the likely source, but Navy officials have been unable to determine who launched what, NBC News reported.
I read an article today which said the HAMP Guide is going to be launched soon. Does anyone know more about this guide and does it cover all aspects of President Obama's Homeownership Affordibility Program (HAMP)?
