You just have to be low before eating?

Hello,

There is something that I do not understand, for my endocrine the most important thing is that it is short before meals, well, but what about the rest of the day?

I explain myself: Before eating 14.30 I am 120, I punctuated myself from Humalog, I like a dish of green beans, fish, salad and a slice of bread without dessert or anything.

At 15.30 I am at 204 - 16.30 209 - 17.30 220 and finally at 18.30 150 and going down, I have already justified to the next meal.

And this at each meal!

After the day I am in rank a couple of hours in total, the rest I am high.Isn't it absurd?

The lower I am night, I suppose that thanks to the toujeo.

How overwhelming is Diabetes Caray !!

Greetings,

If two hours after eating are high, you need more fast units.
Slow insulin works between meals if you are low because you need less.
The ideal is not to be at low levels but at levels to which there is a person without diabetes.That is what we have to try to get.

The tolerable thing is to be at most 180 at two hours from the intake.A diabetic will be at two hours to 120. It is necessary to reach a commitment between the risk of doing hypoglycemia and the objective of approaching the levels of a person without diabetes.Go step by step.First be below 180 and then you will see

My endocrine believes that we must be inside the thresholds that mark us between hours, obviating the 2 -hour peaks after the intake of some food.
With what you say, you lack fast in food despite the few HC and some slow so that you are not so high for hours.
Test with 7ud for the same meal, but be careful not to give you a hypo due to excess insulin and then go up.It happens to me and has recommended the endocrine that puts half of insulin before eating and the other half an hour and a half later.

Yes, the truth is that simple is not!
For example, I have left green beans.I took them at night, but they are very slow action carbohydrates, in my case, which is really very good during the day, but at night they began to enter at two hours when there was little effect of the fast.I have changed them for spinach and Brokoli who don't give me problems!
The important thing is to be within the range as long as possible (not exclusively before eating) and of course avoid hypos.
Sign up what type of meals give you problems.To complicate the thing a little more not all carbohydrates are equal and excess proteins or fats can enter you after 3-4 hours.The truth is not easy
For example, I will eat today with friends in a Vietnamese, and I'm sure I put the leg.
All the best
