A little confused! Can you let you let it be shown 2 times a day?

Hello everyone,

Last Tuesday my mother went with my daughter to the diabetes education talks (she goes once a month) and the psychologist told her that it was not right to put the less less a day that I had to consult the endo.

A couple of weeks ago I decided to put it so 2 times a day (on recommendations that gave me here in the forum) and the truth has been very wake up with very good levels in the morning which gives me a lot of peace of mind.

What do you really know about this can be harmful?

Thank you!

The levemir gets twice a day because it lasts just over 12 hours.
If you get good values, that's what matters.
Psychologists are not specialists in insulins, who tells you a good endocrine, or simply reads the leatherness of the Levemir.
The most important thing is to get good controls and good glycosilada.

Indeed, I subscribe everything that Regina has told you, the important thing is to have good control and slow insulin can be perfectly put in two shots.

@"Elaine S" I think the psychologist is right, what you cannot do is change the insulin guideline to your daughter for the comments we can or can read in this forum and without consulting them with your endocrin@.We have diabetes and certain guidelines can work better or worse but individually to each of us.And if it works well for me to let myself be less in 4 shots, what would you do ...?

Sorry to tell you like this but this should be much more serious and I will continue and I will continue to say that you have to be very careful with what we write (I included) because unfortunately we can create a very fat problem to someone who trusts more of our commentsThat those of your specialist and this thread serves as an example of what I have writing and rewriting in different threads of the forum.-

Sorry @"Regina" The most important thing is to get good controls and good hemoglobins with the least number of "hypoglycemia" possible !!!I think it is very important to remember.

I perfectly understand the importance of what you say, but what I wanted was an explanation of why it is harmfulOnce I saw the endo raised the dose and still woke up over 200 almost every day and this is terrible, the last glycosity was not good because of this and now that I made the change and I put part and part (without raising the amount) Dawn at very good levels, I will consult the doctor in the same way.

Thank you so much!

Levemir insulin can be put once or twice a day.That puts in the indications of the medication.
Each is a world.Many people put it twice, but that does not mean that it is adequate.

But it is not true that it is harmful to put it twice.Rather, it is usual. It is always the endocrine who has to say it, but the prospect also says it clearly.
And of course, the main thing is to stabilize controls without hypoglycemia, but in this case it does not say they have them.
I do not know if I had very confident endocrine, but they always encouraged me to change doses as soon as I considered it convenient after giving me guidelines.
It is that if not, the control of children cannot be followed, they vary from dose very frequently .., although it is true that the changes always made them half a unit and cautiously.

Of course you are right @"sigsauer" although I believe that in this case the matter is not so crazy, but yes, everything must be studied mainly with the endocrine and sometimes we forget.Good note.

@"Regina" that does not say that he has no hypoglycemia does not mean that he does not have them !!Most of the people (and I the first) have lied to our esdocrin@s in the number of hypoglycemia, it seems nonsense but it is not that when you carry the glycemia in a notebook it seems that it gives us shame to put 55mg/dl or 255Mg/dl many times because it gives us the feeling of bad control even if you have a glycosylated manual hemoglobin ... I used to do it the first years until I realized that I was fooled and endangered myself manipulating the number of hypoglycemia... Today with freestyle or blucon it is impossible to manipulate anything because everything is registered.-

He has had very few and have been for the rapid.

Yes, @sigsauer, now the endocrine already realize the peaks and hypos that appear without apparent reason, and all the glycemic variability of one day.Before all the fault was the patient and the scolding were continuous.I got rid, I don't know why, but there were parents who were crying from the consultation.
I am very happy that continuous meters are showing reality and that endocrine try to find solutions without blaming the patient, which already has enough with what he has.

Here we only advise and give opinions.We do not say what each one should do and you cannot consult everything to the endocrine.We every 4 or 5 days have to change guidelines because it has very different needs of insulin in different days and I have to do it on my own as I encourage us to do it the endocrine

In my case I tell my experience, nothing more, that can sometimes help, because I never forget someone who told me his in another forum, and thanks to that we thought about changing the Lantus schedule in the morning., And changed our lives.

I put it 2 times a day on the recommendation of the endocrine.
