Guest guest Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 Please read the entire message thread. We are talking about your having a higher bs at bedtime when you dose Lantus. This is to make sure you do not go so low after dosing Lantus as to cause the rebound effect to be triggered. So it would probably be wise to push your bs upwards of 7.0 or there abouts, which is at the top end of the normal range and a little more. I do not want you to be having a rebound effect in the morning for your fasting blood sugar to be skyhigh. It is worth repeating once again. The therapeutic bs range is to be achieved whenever possible two hours after a meal, not one hour afterwards. The target goal is to have a bs in the normal range two hours aftger eating, and this is called the two hour post prandial goal, not the one hour post prandial goal.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 It is a good idea to keep reporting the actual number of grams of carbs consumed at a meal. While knowing what is eaten is also good, counting the grams of carbs in that meal will keep you in practice and condition you to always count the grams of carbs consumed, since the main key to mastery besides charting is counting.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 Humalog 4 to 30 grams of carbs consumed is a 1:7.5 ratio.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 harry are you saying that for every seven carbs i eat i should take one unit of insulin? karen Re: Regulating 's blood sugar >>>>>>> >>>>>>> >>>>>>>> harry, i just did my nine p m reading >>>>>>>> b s four point six >>>>>>>> lantus eight >>>>>>>> my husband would not help me lessen this amount. he feels i am >>>>>>>> trying >>>>>>>> to >>>>>>>> fine tune this too much. well, yes, of course i am. he sometimes >>>>>>>> takes >>>>>>>> a >>>>>>>> while to accept thing. karen >>>>>>>> >>>>>>> >>>>>>> >>>>>>> >>>>>>> >>>>>>> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 That 1:7.5 lunch and then the mobility training certainly made you go low to a 3.8. A Humalog 3 units to 10 grams of carbs is a 1:3.3 ratio, and you are already low. I think you will go much lower, so I advise you to take a glucose tablet. Check your bs reading again in an hour. If it is still low, take another glucose tablet.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 No, I am pointing out the number of grams you consumed and the units of Humalog you dosed. 30 grams divided by 4 units equals 7.5. This translates into a 1:7.5 ratio you dosed and consumed.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 I know exactly how you feel. Almost two years ago before I became insulin dependent I made a similar plea to this exact list serve, the blinddiabetics. The people here got me on the right track, and I have continued to stay on it ever since with a few slipups now and then. I wrote an article on mastering blood glucose control, which may be of help to you. If you are interested in reading the article, just write to me privately at: hdbates@...

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 Did you take some glucose tablets to get it up to 7.7? I am glad you pushed it up some today, and now let's see what dosing 8 units of Lantus does to your fasting bs in the morning. I will send you the article in another message privately.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 An infection can cause one's blood sugar to run high. Humalog 7 and 21 grams of carbs is a 1:3 ratio. If you don't get to feeling better soon, I recommend you go see a doctor.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 12.4 moles is equivalent to a USA reading of 223, which is out of sight and definitely not good. 7 units of Humalog to 21 grams of carbs is a 1:3 ratio. Your high blood sugars may be the result of infection, rebound effect, carb consumption or bad insulin. It may be a combination of the preceeding factors. No matter what is causing it, you need to get it down to the normal range. If your insulin is ever frozen or reaches a high temperature of 86 degrees or more for any length of time can ruin your insulin or if it is old insulin, it can lose its potency.
