Guest guest Posted October 10, 2003 Report Share Posted October 10, 2003 don't eat any carbs harry. only drink water so your cells are more receptive to the humalog. Take 4 units of humalog per 40 points high since that will drop your bgs 40 points. So, if you are 180, take 8 units of H and don't eat and that should take you to 100 2 hours later. Drink lots of water. Gotta drink water man. It helps the cells be more receptive to the insulin. If you get hungry, sorry man, don't eat to much eat like pickles/olives and very very low carb stuff. Don't eat 15 grams per meal only eat 5. Your being punished for your mistake LOL just kidding... tomorrow is a new day... regards, Re: advice for Harry > 10/10/2003 > > Last night: > > Supper: > > G 132 > > C 12 > > H 12 > > After supper: > > Actually I felt so badly, that I just ate a cracker for supper and went to > bed and slept. > > Today fasting glucose level: > > G 111 > > Breakfast: > > C 15 > > H 9 > > Two hours post breakfast: > > G 174 > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2003 Report Share Posted October 13, 2003 BTW it doesn't look like the lantus is working IMO... or, it could be that the lantus is working but the humalog is bad not keeping the carbs down. IMO pitch the insulin and get new insulin. regards, Re: advice for Harry > 10/13/2003 > > Last night: > > Two hours post supper: > > G 105 > > Three and a half hours post supper: > > G 101 > > Lantus 17 > > Breakfast today: > > G 164 (seems very high considering no carbs consumed since the 101 reading) > > C 15 > > H 16 > > One hours post breakfast: > > G 215 > > Three hours post breakfast: > > 146 > > The results above make little sense to me unless I have a massive infection > of which I am unaware or my insulin is no good.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 I was served all kinds of low carb foods. In fact I informed the head waiter that I was diabetic and I would like to have sugar free jello. After that the head waiter served me two small bowls of sugar free jello every evening for dessert. There were all kinds of salads and vegetables like broccoli and onions and peppers. There were all kinds of fish, chicken, pork, beef and lamb, and I ate all of it that I desired. For breakfast there were all kinds of eggs, omlets, sausage, bacon and ham. I would imagine, if I desired a steak for breakfast, they would have prepared it for me, too. You could have all the water, tea, coffee for no extra charge, but wine with dinner was charged either by the glass or bottle. A word of caution, since I gained six pounds in seven days, eating a lot of low carb food will also convert to fat and put on the weight, so watch the amount of food you eat. There is a health room with about twenty or thirty treadmills available for use, and I was able to use them with no problems. Re: advice for Harry > Hi . > > Welcome back!

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 Sounds great, Hary. My husband and I are going on a short cruise to Ecinada in a couple of weeks. It is actually a cruise we have been on befor, but my husband does not like to fly anywhere and we can get to the cruise port with our paratransit system in L.A. we are going mainly to relax. I will remember to ask for sugar free jello! Re: advice for Harry The cruise was in the Eastern Caribbean on the Royal Caribbean ship named Explorer of the Seas. I believe the ship has around 1500 crew members and 3000 passengers. It is like a giant floating skyscraper with many restaurants, dinning halls, theatres and shopping malls. It teaches one the meaning of knowing no: no sweeping no mopping no washing no cooking no making beds no dusting All you have to do is eat, sleep and shop until you drop. I went on several tours on various island countries to the beach, boat rides, shopping trips. Food and drink was every where. Just take plenty of money with you, and things will be alright. The tips for the cabin steward, head waiter, assistant waiter and drink server alone amounted to over $300. We took too many clothes. There is a laundry service aboard ship, so we could have just used it instead of packing so many clothes. We attended a couple of broadway shows in the Palace Theatre on board. This theatre seats over 1000 persons. There are all kinds of activities to do like: swimming, since there are several swimming pools attending the IceCapades the ice skating show golf rock climbing hot tubs men's beautiful contest belly flop contest horse racing contest of course gambling, slot machines, roulet table and card tables and craps You get special attention from every one of the crew. Handicapped person get first class treatment, being able to board the ship and get off the ship ahead of all the others, which can save lots of time and hassle. I never got sea sick, even though the ship went through a tropical storm the first day out, where half the crew got sick from the rocking and lurching motion of this giant ship. The ship cruised a around 25 miles per hour and we were on deck eight, which was about a hundred feet above water. The ship actually has 17 stories, being 240 feet high, 1050 long and 158 feet wide at the beam. We were fortunate enough to have a balcony in our state room which had a king size bed and a sofa, as well as a very nice bath room and a desk and television. It was like staying in a fancy hotel room with all kinds of excellent service like room service and the cabin steward made towel sculptures most nights. It was a good trip and we have booked another one for the western Caribbean in the winter of next year. Re: advice for Harry > Hi and welcome home Harry.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 looking good Harry. I'm suspecting there is still infection in your body since if you look at your levels... sometimes they go down to indicate the lantus is working then other times you raise up indicating the lantus is not as effective. I'm thinking the inconsistancy is due to slight infection still in your body. I haven't had time to read to much on the list lately but I'd say at this point man, go see an endo for your leg and see what he thinks and let him do some blood work on you. Go to a specialist doc pop aint gunna cut it. He's good for coughs, but for diabetes, doc pop aint gunna cut it IMO Re: advice for Harry > 11/13/2003 > > Last night: > > G 86 > > Lantus 25 > > Ate a few nuts > > Breakfast today: > > G 126 > > C 15 > > H 14 > > Two hours post breakfast: > > G 124 > > Lunch: > > G 97 > > C 15 > > H 10 > > Two hours post lunch: > > G 95 > > Supper: > > G 102 > > C 15 > > H 10 > > Two hours post supper: > > G 85 > > Celebrated with a glass of wine > > Lantus 25 > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2003 Report Share Posted November 15, 2003 you might have to start adjusting down the humalog Harry since it looks like the infection might be lessonign and you are running 76 to 68 for yoru bgs and should be around 80. Perhaps try 9 H instead of 10 tomorrow. Good job man!

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Well, it sounds like we're all trying to get things under control. I've been having a bad time with my readings lately and they are swinging terribly, so it's back to checking it four times a day. Goodness, it's an inconvenience, but thank God we can self manage independently. Harry, you'll get it together. I missed the first parts of this thread because my inbox crashed and took all of my e-mail with it. Best of everything to you.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 April, How do you manage to get your glucose blood under control with only four glucose monitor readings per day? I am presently taking a reading at least seven times per day and some times eight or nine readings per day. Figuring on a before meal reading and a two hour post meal reading takes at least six readings per day, and I usually throw in a night time reading before bedtime. I am using Lantus and Humalog for my insulins long acting and short acting respectively. I have just about gotten my glucose blood levels under control afterthree months of effort. I credit the folks here, especially and Pat, for saving my leg, which was infected, causing me to run extremely high blood readings for a while. Now that the infection is gone, I hope, I can practice even tighter glucose control in the range of90 plus or minus 10 points.

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 yes, there is a relationship between how much lantus to humalog you take per day but not in a total with regards to H just on a per meal basis. I.E if you take 30 units of lantus your going to naturally have to take less H per meal. You can't say if you take 30 units of lantus the total H for the day will be 25 based on this or that. Nope, that is not how it works it is all on a per meal basis and individually tailored and not wrapped up neatly in a formula. However, seeing the clinical mind you are Harry, I'm certain you'll try to figure out a formula and adjust your insulin experimenting and run highs then we'll have to help you out again to get back to normal levels LOL just kidding. Really Harry, I think you are doing a great job man and should stop adjusting your insulin IMO. I don't see any problem with the sugars your running as of late I think you are now turning into a perfectionist and if you don't stop, your going to be miserable *smile*. As long as you are running 80 to 90, or there about, pre meal and 120 or less 2 hour post meal your fine. Your 2 hour post meal tests are *all* under 120 and your pre-meal tests are good IMO. What else do you want? I seriously think you are doing a great job. I mean if you want to up your lantus by 1 unit sure go ahead but another way of getting a lower pre meal for breakfast is to change what you are eating for bed time snack. I think your sugars through the day are really good and to just up the lantus by 1 to get your pre morning down might just make you get low through out the day when you could easily just adjust what you are eating prior to bed to bring your morning bgs down. Heck, I know many who would kill for a morning pre meal of 107 *smile*. Keep up the good work man, can't wait to hear your next a1c! regards, Re: advice for Harry > I am considering raising my Lantus dose at night from 25 units to 26 or 27 > units, and I wonder what your opinion is. > > Consider the glucose level today in light of the fact that I consumed around > 9 Grams of carbs list in the form of nuts and then dosed with Lantus 25 > units before going to bed last night.
