Guest guest Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 Well, what can I say? , you have got me pegged for sure. I will take your advice and just hold off for a while on raising that Lantus dose. <smile> I know that Humalog insulin is on a meal or snack basis, and this depends on how many carbs one consumes at each meal or snack. I was just thinking on what the relationship of Lantus to Humalog there might be on a 15 carb intake per meal. For now I will just let it ride, since as you say, most people would like to have my glucose readings of late. Also it is a pain in the arse to get the levels out of wack and spend the three or four days getting it back in line.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2003 Report Share Posted November 27, 2003 excellent Harry! When in *the world* are you going to get your a1c done man? I can't wait to see it!!!! BTW have them do your cholesterol as well LDL, HDL, and trigliserites. Am curious to see how cutting your carbs back have helped all those levels.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2003 Report Share Posted November 27, 2003 I was due to get the A1C done this week, however, a rock through the car window caused me to have to change the appointment with the doctor for lab work. I have rescheculed it for next week. So I should know something within the next two or three weeks.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 Your check list is absolutely correct! When I t ravel, I always bring extra everything -including food for my guide dog-as one never knows whaat delays yo c an have! Re: advice for Harry Now make that a third time for missing Lantus, and I agree that I don't believe it would be wise to miss the Lantus dose more than one day at a time, but if one has their glucose levels under control, missing a day of Lantus does not cause disasterous results. I think a diabetic is going to have to become like a private pilot. He always goes through his checklist before he takes off from the airport. Since I pilot this ship called this body of mine, I had better develop a checklist of essentials for my control and survival. For instance one should have on hand a minimum of four days of medication available at all times and this would also include syringes and needles and alcohol wipes. I would also recommend that when going on a trip the necessary supplies for each day are carried plus an extra week of needed medications, since one never knows what will happen on a trip or when one will be returning for sure. Oh yeah, and for sure be sure to have the checklist available for checking off the essentials before departing. So I am going to get right on making up a checklist of essentials right now, and if you have further suggestions, please advise. I like your idea for setting an alarm clock for taking your Lantus, since I sometimes forget to take it at a specific time and I have been as late as three hours in taking my dose of Lantus at the usual time I take at night around 9:30PM.
