Insulin seems not to act

hello, here a new one more.Greetings to everyone.

I was diagnosed with type II diabetes when I was 43 years old, now 17, following a colon intervention.Since then I medical with Eukreas (1 0 1) and Lantus, which I had to increase over time.I currently put 52 units.at night.My height/weight ratio ratio in BMI is 27, which brushes the light overweight, but nothing worrying;The typical "lorzas" of happiness.

I have always been to have some basal hyperglycemia.It was difficult for me to lose 130-140 before breakfast, which became 100-120 before the food, 160-170 two hours after eating, and so on;All within the acceptable.However, I have been a good season that in the morning of 160-190, although it is true that later it is almost always reduced to 130-150, in the middle of the morning.

Anyway, as the experience tells me that I am not careful of medical opinions in general (except for vital emergency situations), I dare to ask here in this forum if you see advisable to ask the head doctor to give me additional fast insulin forDownload these situations.Or that, or increase lantus more (perhaps 60 or 65 units.), But it already seems to me a very high figure that I do not know if it would be.It occurs to me that you better use fast insulin to solve specific peaks instead of more lantus.I have doubts.

I know that possibly the guilt of everything is the stress that pursues me as a dog, but I find it very difficult to avoid it because my profession, my environment and my context are quite stressful.

Greetings, and forgive for the billet.

Hello.Let's see what partners tell you.
I would recommend within my short experience, although you will not like it, lose weight.That greatly decreases insulin resistance.I think you get a lot to get up on those levels.And I think that the level with which one gets up depends on the slow one, not the rapid.
Another thing would be to get up more or less well and shoot after meals.There you would be quickly.
I am type 2 with little pancreas functioning and I need basal but little.My endo told me that it was for having little weight, a BMI of 19.
That is why it occurs to me to recommend, to try you do not lose anything.
But wait for more answers.

Even if it is suggestions, I would consult it with an endocrine.

In my opinion you already put enough basal units.I think that is not the way.It may be the medication that you take, you don't do well.And you may need to put quick insulin.But be careful, that can complicate your life a lot, because you will have to learn to tell rations of carbohydrates.And I assure you, it is not easy, and you will have hypoglycemia, like everyone because you are wrong, you will have bad rations one day, like everyone else, and you will have a hypo, like everyone else.You may even need a sensor.

As Isabelbota tells you you have to try to reduce insulin resistance.That requires only two things, but with constancy: move and eat healthy.I believe that in your case of diabetes 2, the effort is very worthwhile and so you may avoid putting fast insulin.I would be the way to follow, and I would avoid at all costs to put me fast insulin.If it is inevitable, well nothing happens.But you can avoid it much better.

Those lorzas of happiness can create a lot of unhappiness!

But discuss it better with an endocrine.

Greetings and I hope you reduce those values!

Thank you very much for your suggestions.

Indeed, going from an BMI 27 to 22-23-24 would be ideal.But, being realistic, I know myself and I know that I will hardly lose 25-26.And so muscle mass is lost but Lorzas stays.

As for exercise, I do not pass from walking 60-120 minutes a day for problems derived from other conditions

The fast insulin said it because I know people who put 4-6 units.on demand and have no hypoglycemia episodes.In my case the idea would be to reduce from 52-54 to 20-30 the UDS.Lantus of the night, and add 4-6 units on demand.of the rapid.

I don't know: I'm still saying some nonsense.

Consulting the endocrine would be appropriate if it were not because the header does not believe it is necessary.He likes to be the protagonist and control the chronic processes without "disturbing" the specialist with "small" that he believes he can solve for himself (and by phone).

Anyway, at the medical level of the SS I see no solution.They are only for the emergency room and, according to who touches you, in a bad way.In the end....

Thank you.

I understand what you say about your head doctor.Mine didn't want to send me to the endocrine either.But they are not small, it is your health.You should be able to get up at normal levels.
Tell it then with the header and if it does not solve it insists with the endocrine.Whatever it takes until you go well.

At least and in my community, head doctors (family) have to fulfill a statistical macabre and it is that the less they send evidence and specialists, the more they charge and promote

@Twitter, how do you have glucosilada?
If it is above 7 or 6.5, you would need a change in treatment.
Not everything can be fixed up slowly.
I also advise you to see you an endocrine, especially if that glycosilada is not controlled.

The time I had it was 6.7.

The last one was 6.3 and the doctor then told me that he had good metabolic control.

Hello, the sugar is not lowered to me, I have diabetes 2 years ago, I started treatment and I was codentro, it was controlled for 2 year 9 months, but since June I get out of control, basically because we weigh food habits, but 2 months ago I haveDiet based on allowed vegetables and fruits, water, fat without fat, green juice etc.But apart 2 weeks with fast action insulin, which I remove the doctor because it was not the indicated one, now I take galvus met from 4DIAS but just fall in fasting, now driving on an empty stomach 240 and after eating 380,Also increase my physical activity quite a lot

What will happen that it doesn't go down?Will you have to wait a certain time to start seeing results?

Hello, I have diabetes 2

Well, it is clear that with Galvus and Metformina you do not control yourself and if you are type two the doctor should start with basal insulins, and not fast, my advice is that you run away from family doctors and procures that send you to an endocrine as soon as possible.

Hello, how are you?

After introducing myself in the appropriate place I spend my case that brings me on the head lately.

I am 39 years old, 2 and a half ago I debuted.I have type 1 diabetes and my treatment is Lantus (28 units) at 22.00 h.and Novorapid: the variable units.

2 weeks ago I have spent an important cold and the glucose got a lot of uncontrolled, they sent me antibiotic and it seems that it also remained uncontrolled.The fact is that I no longer take treatment for the cold and I am relatively well, I only have a bit of dry cough.Well, I can't get the glucose, it seems that I have paid to number 300, because I always have around that figure.Yesterday I did a small experiment and sometimes I think that insulin does not effect, it seems that the shot.

Well yesterday I measured at 22.30 because I was going to have dinner but I was 336, so I put 7 units of fast but I did not quite because I wanted to see how the quick effect was effect, well at half an hour I measured myself and I had 300 that is to say practicallyI hadn't lowered anything.I set 4 units more fast and continued without eating anything, here thrown on the couch, because at the hour and a half I measured again and I had 260, I put another 4 units of fast insulin and had dinner.Ultimately it seems that fast insulin does not lower my glucose.

Broken the puncture areas, I use the needle once, I have changed bolis of both Lantus and Novorapid and the same thing happens to me.

What can be due?I am a little downturn because I am many days very high and no matter how much I do not get it practically anything.I have lost about 4 kilos in 10 days but the doctor says it is for acetone.

What I do?.

Thank you very much for your help.


Hello.I am equal to my mother the day before yesterday.He has been diabetic doctors for 55 years, but no one had told him.

The diabetic patient has to be perfectly hydrated to work insulin.When there is no cause for glucose to rise, make sure you have drunk a lot of water.
I saw it with my own eyes, with 20 units of rapid the blood glucose did not fall from 400. After 1 liter of water (oral) and 3 serum bags (endovenoso) the same insulin that did not work, it was injected and worked.My mother drank 500 ml of water per day.It lived dehydrated.Now drink at least 2 liters.No one had told him.

Hydrate and try if your insulin works the same or different.

This has happened to me in the heat wave.I did not bathe about 400 on the days that have been 40º, until ....... Tatxan, magic .... They recommend that you drink, to drink a lot and correct me and work.And the following days of heat wave, drinking a lot, I haven't shot me axucar.

Hello, have you thought about raising the slow?Because that may be the reason, normally when we are with a cold you have to upload the slow yes or yes, but the rapSo little time because the body from one moment to another reacts and you go to a hiccup of the fat, go up basal, exercise the one you can, a lot of water and wait for the storm to pass, as they say, luck and encouragement
