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.

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.

Humalog 4 to 30 grams of carbs consumed is a 1:7.5 ratio.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
