Guest guest Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 Harry and , Well, what you two are doing is of interest to a lot of people. Many, many folks do have the same problems and concerns but are afraid to ask less they be tagged as stupid. Cy, the Ancient okie... Regulating 's blood sugar , Your mail delivery system still marks me as being a spammer, and it rejects all the replies I send to your messages. This mnakes it very difficult to try to help you regulate your insulin dose from meal to meal and day to day. As a general rule, I am only able to send one reply to a single message from you. If I try to send two messages to the same message it is classified as spam by your mail delivery system and subsequent messages for that day are also undelivered or rejected as being spam. Instead of doing it privately, I suggest we do it publicly on this list serve, and this would make interchange of messages go faster and more smoothly. It would also provide fellow list members to see what we are doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 , Continue posting your messages through this list serve when it comes to helping youregulate your blood sugar level. Then any messages I can send to you will get through without being blocked, as it is when I reply to your personal email messages. I feel there is nothing to hide and conversely, to reveal our efforts in stabilizing your glucose levels and teaching you mastery of sugar level control can or may help a lot of us here. None of us are perfect, and unfortunately I have to admit that I am not perfect either. So we will have to consider this a work in progress. For months I posted on this list serve almost daily and sometimes several times per day until I mastered blood glucose level control. Some here may remember when I use to do this with the subject line: advice for Harry People here saw my successes and failures for several months. So I think using the same subject line: regulating 's blood sugar is a good one to continue. By doing this we can engage several experts besides me in helping you;. Folks here will be able to see exactly the struggle both of us are engaged in trying to master blood glucose level control. I am from the old school which teaches, see one, do one and teach one. A person is not a master until they can teach another one how to do it. So, let's continue. To do so all you have to do is do a control+r, which is the reply command while reading this message and type in your message and then do a send command after you have completed your message. This will preserve the subject line without chaning it and if you have your email program set to send subsequent messages along with your reply, this will preserve the entire thread of communication, which will be an easy reference for looking both backwards and forward inside the message thread. This way it can cut down on any confusion and provide a check on our progress or lack of it. Then it is easier to figure out what is going on.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 , So far I have established only two facts about your blood sugar, and both of these facts are very tenuous, since each was derived only one set of data, and the circumstances have changed. You are now on Lantus 8 units at night, whereas before you were on Humalin N 11 units at night. While you were on Humalin N a gram of carbohydrate or 1 carb raised your blood sugar level by 0.475 points. On another set of data a single unit of Humalog insulin lowered your blood sugar level by 1.9 mole points. These two facts, as I say, are highly tenuous, and it is unwise to make any recommendations on a single set of data. This is why it requires several sets of data under varying conditions before a final recommendation can be made. It is also important to remember that any recommendation ultimately has to be your own, and experimenting and charting is the key to figuring out what is best for you under varying conditions. Sticking to a fixed ratio for several days is essential in this process, especially in the beginning. By a fixed ratio I mean a set number of units of Humalog for a set number of grams of carbs consumed. This is why it is important to know how to count. So stick as close as possible to 15 grams of carbs per meal until we figure out how much Humalog insulin it takes to handle it properly. Once we get this figured out and it is stable for three or four days, then we can do further experimentation. Charting is absolutely the first key in the process of blood sugar level mastery.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Let us see how close those past facts can predict your bs after you took those two glucose tablets. 0.475*8 (two 4 gram glucose tablets = 8 grams of carbs) which means it will raise your bs by 3.8 moles or 3.8+3.1= 6.9. The only way to tell if this correct plus or minus 10% is to take a bs reading before you consume any further carbohydrates, and it would be best to take this bs reading two hours after you took the two glucose tablets. Now that you are on Lantus instead of Humalin N may be a factor to be considered with this prediction. Let us know what the bs really was after taking the two glucose tablets.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Since you had spinach which is 4 carbs and cottage cheese without fruit is another 4 grams of carbs, then we need to add another 8 grams of carbs to the 8 grams of glucose tablets for a total of 16 grams. Putting it another way we can just add another 3.8 moles to the last figure I had below which was 6.9 moles for a total mole count of 10.8. Now we can take this figure and subtract the number of mol points that 1 unit of Humalog will reduce it by 1.9 per unit of Humalog (another factor which was derived in another set of earlier calculations which would be 1.9*3= 5.7. A two hour post prandial bs reading should dbe plus or minus 10% of the final figure of 5.1. This would be pretty good Humalog dosing if all figures are correct, but at this point early in the game, it is still a crap shoot.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Maybe some of my calculations are not too far off. When you think about it, I predicted a reading of 5.1 plus or minus 10%. It just so happens that a bs of 4.6 is a 10% bariability reading. You may also recall that I recommended in a previous private post that you reduce your Lantus from 8 units to 7 units. If your bs in the morning is below 3.9, I definitely recommend you reduce your Lantus.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Fine tuning your insulin dosage and carb intake is what mastering glucose level control is all about. Once you know how to do it, you should be able to get within a half mole point of what you actually want your two hour post prandial reading to be. At least this is how I am thinking of it. This would mean that you know what you are doing and you can reach your goal practically all of the time or at least most of the time. A half point is plus or minus .5 or five tenths of a point, which would be an A plus rating as far as I am concerned. Besides that is why you have glucose tablets. Remember one 4 gram glucose tablet raises your blood sugar approximately 1.9 mole points. If I make a mistake, it is usually in counting the number of grams of carbs I consume, especially if I eat out at a restaurant.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 It looks like you need to increase your Lantus since your fasting bs is 11.9. So instead of decreasing your Lantus by 1 unit, it would be better for you to increase it by 1 unit to 9 units of Lantus at bedtime. Instead of being bullheaded like me, it would be best for you to stick to a fixed number of grams of carbs like 15 grams of carbs at each meal until you are regulated. I am tellihng you was right about me. Had I minded him in the beginning I could have been a master in less than three months instead of the six months it took me, and I only mastered Humalog dosing in the end by finally minding 's instructions. So the first thing to do besides charting is to count those carbs, and in the beginning the magic number is 15 grams of carbs.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Yes, a person can change their insulin based on one reading. We are talking about two things here. You report a fasting bs of 11.9, which is way out of control. This also assumes that you did not consume a lot of carbs after you dosed with Lantus last night. If you did, we need to know this and what it was. Now assuming you did not eat a lot of carbs and you still dosed Lantus 8 units and came up with this 11.9 fasting blood sugar, then something needs to change, and it needs to change fairly quickly. Any time one goes above a glucose reading for an extended period of time exceeding 160 USA reading or 8.9 moles needs immediate adjustment. You are a full 3.0 points above the therapeutic level. The only reason for this reading is either you ate grams of carbs, which are not counted or you had the rebound effect, which is caused byan extreme low in the danger range. For this reason I would recommend you be near a mole reading of 6.0-7.0 before dosing Lantus at night, or another option is to take in enough carbs to get your bs to that level before going to bed after dosing with Lantus. I do not know what the story really is. Only you can say.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Based on the data I already have on you, and I emphasize this is just preliminary data which needs further experimentation to establish the two most important predictor factors, I would predict the following two hour post prandial bs reading based on the data you present here. 17 grams of carbs times 0.475 (the number of mole points raised by a single gram of carb) yields a figure of 8.1. Now add this number to your pre-meal bs reading of 9.7 and you get 17.8. Now subtract the number of units of Humalog dosed times the number of mole points factor of 1.9 and you will get the number of mole points that the Humalog dose will reduce that previous figure. In this case it would be 6 times 1.9 or 11.4 mole points. Now subtract this figure from 17.8 and you get 6.4 plus or minus 10% for your two hour post prandial bs reading in moles. This means your bs reading should be in the range of 5.8-7.0. We haven't even caculated your exercise routine and its effect on your bs rreadings as yet.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 Well, some adjustments need to be made. I may need to figure another factor provided you did no exercising or treadmill walking from the previous measure to the one listed below. Let me know. You report a bs of 5.3, and I precicted a bs of 6.4, which means it was more than 10% off the mark for what I now consider to be a C average in mastery or maybe a D+. You were five tenth of a point below my predicted range, so I missed it. Before dosing your Lantus tonight and going to bed, this is what I recommend, since I don't know if your high fasting blood sugar level was the result of the revound effect or extra carb intake last night. Any way can I assume you will be taking 8 units of Lantus tonight? If so, I would recommend you push up your bedtime bs to around 7.5 or nearly so. Remember one glucose tablet raises your bs approximately1.9 moles, so one glucose tablet can raise your 5.3 to a 7.2 and two glucose tablets can raise your 5.3 to 9.1. Of course only a bs monitoring will tell the story. When you take your fasting bs in the morning before breakfast, I hope it is in the normal range. If it is, I think we can postulate that your high fasting blood sugar level this morning was due to the rebound effect. This assumes you had reported no extra carb intake last night. Good luck and good dosing!
