blood suger levels

[bimbo222]

My blood, suger levels, range, between 11.8 to 24.8.   I am on 58units in the morning, & 58 at, evening.  Does this seem right to you.

Which insulin are you taking? Ideally, in your case you need to start with a basal insulin at night followed by rapid acting insulin 1/2 hour before each large meal. Also, you need to be takin metformin 100 mg twice daily.

Hi,

your levels seem very high. Although I am not used to your units.

You may need to work very closely with your doctor and you may need a fast acting insulin before meals and/or further adjustment of your basal insulin.

Portion control, carbohydrate counting, and exercise will all help.

However with such high levels I think you need to be talking to your doctor and asking to be referreed to a diabetes educator.

Read up all you can about diabetes and start applying it.  With such high levels your risk of complications is very high.
