Re: Stable but too high?

Your numbers are still too high. I'd really get in touch
with my educator, and you really need one you can trust, to
get your sugars down. Mine really run about the mid 100's.
My work is strenuous so if I'm AT 100 I go hypo really quick.
I got off my Lantus and went on the pump last year and my A1C
dropped from 8.2 to 6.4 in 4 months.
You might want to check on this but definately Talk to
your doctor and have him hook you up with a diabetes educator.
They will take the time to talk to you and work with you.
Unlike your doctor, who is not a specialist, they keep up
with the latest and can help you understand what's going on.
Good luck.

I upped my Lantus to 16 units and now I seem to be very
stable in that my numbers are remaining in the high 200's
to low 300's. Not good that the numbers are this high, but
at least they're not in the 400's or all over the place any
more.

Is this what this type of insulin should be doing? This is
what the nurse said it would do for me. Keep me from
having peaks. Doesn't seem to matter now what I eat or
don't eat, my numbers are staying there.

It's frustrating to me that I have to wait 3 or 4 days to
increase my dose. Perhaps that was my mistake to begin
with. I didn't wait and was increasing daily. I just
re-read my notes from the nurse and apparently I wasn't
paying attention even though I wrote it down wrong. I read
something online about the body taking 3 to 4 days to
adjust to it and you shouldn't make changes any sooner.

I just don't understand why going on insulin would push my
numbers up higher than they were, but... I did stop the
Januvia. I thought it wasn't doing anything for me, but
perhaps it really was. I wish there was some way to get my
numbers down sooner, but there doesn't seem to be one.
This neuropathy pain is killing me!
