Fast insulin suspension

@adrianasanz proves not to put the insulin as they have told you, if at 2/3 hours you are above 180mg/dl, put 1 use of correction to go down.Think that it can always be corrected a posteriori.

If for 3 days in a row you need the unit for breakfast (especially because at breakfast is when we have more resistance), then you will need that unit prior to breakfast.The same for the rest of the meals, but I think you will not need little that you are active.

thank you so much.According to your recommendations I have done very well, before breakfast I have 85 and after two hours 200, but when they pass 45 minutes to approximately 110.So I shouldn't worry.before eating with 82 and two hours later 130. All this without rapid insulin.Thank you very muchssss

Great @adrianasanz !!!!
Enjoy the holidays

@adriansanz It is normal for you to suspend insulin for the moment.You still have pancreatic reserve, it is what measures the C. peptide
I debuted like you, at 42 and the first year I only stayed slowly.In the second year I began to put 1 units at each meal and so little by little.Now I hardly use because I am on protein diet and I only get slow and few units.

When I left the hospital, 10 units of slow and fast only 1 una were prescribed if before each meal I was above 160 mg/dl, 2 units if it was above 180mg/dl, etc.They put a reference table.I ended up without fast the first year, as I commented, and I had to go down to 6-8 units.

If you use Lantus or Levemir as slow, you will have hypoglycemia problems if you go to bed with 80 mg/dl, if you use toujeo or threeiba, they are more flat, they do not peak but you will also go fair to dawn.

Important that you use a carbohydrate table and its glycemic index (= blood absorption speed);I use this:

I.G.Red are the fast ones, we are not going well because insulin is slower in its action.

This is proof and error, and doctors do the same with us.We are doing well one thing or another.

I is that seeing this table of glycemic indices ...
It would not be ideal, according to the tables, before a hypo take a beer with fried potatoes?
With those Ig that they have we would be recovered in a peak ... 😂😂😂

Alcohol, even a beer, with hypoglycemia, decreases blood sugar levels.
The problem would still be more aggravated
A hypoglycemia would never be fixed with a beer although fried potatoes are ate.

Totally agree.But if it were a beer without alcohol, 0.0, with that IG ... must climb faster than glucose ....

Giving these ideas, you confuse people who have been with diabetes for a short time and can lead to a correction of erroneous hypoglycemia

Correct, I at noon when I do not arrive, I drink nuts with a without. And what Vanesa says is right a beer with alcohol is a trap, the HC first goes up but then the alcohol

@Ruthbia then if you can make a meal without putting insulin?I have not tried to do that yet.

Already, already, if the alcohol I do not doubt it, I know perfectly, it was rather joking, but you confirm that a "without" can help you to raise blood glucose, you use it 😋
Let's see, it is very striking that an alcohol without alcohol has a higher glycemic index than glucose, sincerely.

Well, dt1cdm depends on what type of diabetes you have and if you are still on honeymoon.@adrianasanz has just debuted in Lada and still has a pancreatic reserve, that is, its body still produces insulin with what if it becomes fast insulin hypoglycemia occurs.If a controlled hydrates diet and regular exercise are followed, the honeymoon can last a lot of time.I was almost two years of honeymoon.The first year did not put insulin to eat, only basal and little amount;the second only 1 ud and according to the value that departed;There were nothing days.

Now I carry a protein diet and low in fat, and I don't wear a fast insulin, except for breakfast and not every day, depending on the value you start.Only basal and 10 units, like when I debuted 6 years ago.

@isabelbota I just drink beer if I have hypoglycemia, a short.And it goes up very quickly.In 6 years I think I have taken 3 in total.And since it has little alcohol I do not give me hypoglycemia.

In theory, (then each one goes as it goes) alcohol intake produces hypoglycemia because the body begins to eliminate it and accumulate fats, proteins and hydrates in the reserve for later, when it has eliminated alcohol to start its metabolism (Hence drinking fattens, and a lot), so exogenous insulin follows its rhythm and since there is not enough blood blood glucose, it derives in hypoglycemia.

A beer with a lid is difficult for hypoglycemia because the degree of alcohol is low and "usually gives time" to the body starting to produce blood glucose for exogenous insulin.If one starts drinking and drinking .... will depend on each body and what it costs to manage alcohol.

For a hiccup the best is pure hydrate: 15 grams of sugar, glucose gel, sugary drinks without alcohol, ....

I really take advantage of my German Dunkel beer that I love only when I see that I am a bit low, but not for hypoglycemia.For that the best is a juice or glucose pill.
Beer just to recover glycemia a little up.
But the truth is that I love it!…Beer :)
