I hate to bring this up but do you think he may have been yelled at by

or his parents for breaking something??

(inAus)

is doing the weirdest thing.

Noone has ever yelled at him for breaking something. God, he breaks something

every day, why start now?

Jacqui went through this too, Jacquie....

We've never spanked, and RARELY act like we are mad at her...but we've had

these incidents after she's done something of " Dont' spank me!!!! " and

" Don't be mad at me!! "

My guess is he's hearing this stuff from other kids. Maybe, quite possibly

at 's house. Or maybe someone has said something at school? Or maybe

something from TV? Jacqui got the spanking stuff from the neighbors, the

neighbors kids got spanked, and quite obviously Jacqui knew it.

Just my guess.

We wondered that too -- or if broke something and he saw 's

mom freak on him. I tried to ask him if that had happened, in a roundabout

way, but he wasn't following what I was asking him to tell me. I don't

think he understood what I wanted to know, or else he just didn't want to

talk about it.

Hi-

Sounds like hypoglycemia for sure.

What time/type of the last dose of insulin are you taking?

You may want to lower it and also have a bedtime snack- a handful of nuts

may help you.

That used to happen to me a number of times until I started having a bedtime

snack.

Re: question

Eunice

I have question to ask since I am kinda new. This week it seems like at

night, or I use say around 2:30a. m. I have awaken with just soak in sweat

my

head to my toes. and I have been dizzy. this has happen the last three

night.

This morning when it happen, I did do a blood sugar count and it was 36.

time

of my insulin and I am eating at the same time. Also in the morning

Do you have a snack before bed? If so, what?

,

What sort of insulin regimen are you on? What type of insulin are you taking

with meals, and in particular, what are you using as long-acting, background

insulin? I suspect that there might be NPH insulin involved, which has been

used for a long time as a background insulin but is historically notorious for

the hypos it causes due to its considerable peak (it's actually *not* a

long-acting insulin; it's in the " intermediate-acting " category, and has a far

more pronounced peak than Lantus or Ultralente, which are essentially " flat " ).

I used NPH for the first year after my diagnosis, and for me, it was next to

impossible to really maintain any sort of control. Every day, at 12:30 p.m., I

would " crash, " since this is when my morning dose of NPH would be at its peak.

Things got a bit better for me when I switched from Regular ® to Humalog for

meal coverage, since the Humalog has a shorter activity time than Regular (I was

having problems with the overlapping action time of the R I took to cover my

breakfast and the NPH). With the dinnertime/bedtime dose of NPH (depending upon

when you take your insulin in the evenings), I found it necessary to have a

bedtime snack to prevent middle-of-the-night lows, which is what you seem to be

experiencing, given the timing. These are the sort of numbers that I see quite

often when I'm crashing; I know that given my history with hypoglycemia, I'm the

*last* person who should or could offer any real practical advice in terms of

preventing the lows, but I DO suspect that it ultimately has everything to do

with (a) the timing of your evening insulin dose(s) and (B) the type of insulin

you are using.

If you ARE using NPH, what time are you taking it in the evening? A bedtime

snack *might* ultimately be necessary, if your doctor doesn't feel that you

should be using a different type of insulin for background coverage. Also, if

you're on a 70/30 mix, that too is 70 percent NPH, so there exists the potential

for the same circumstances; it's still going to peak, and you're going to need

to account for that peak, and do something to " feed " it in order to lessen its

impact.

Please write back and let me know if this is what you've been using. And more

importantly -- call your doctor. Take it from one who knows all too well: lows

are NOT pleasant, and lows in that range are potentially dangerous (having

experienced more of my share). I think it was Sandy who had responded to my

last post regarding the most recent severe low I experienced by saying how

crucial it is to always have glucose tablets on hand. Although I didn't have a

chance to reply to her, one thing I do want to say is that no matter what,

glucose tablets are the ONE thing that I will NEVER allow myself to run out of.

I don't believe that using food, candy, and the like has ever been or will ever

be an effective manner of treating a hypo. Glucose tablets (or glucose gel)

should be your first and your primary form of " retaliation " against the lows.

Hope this helps.

If a person is on insulin could they eat what ever they wanted and adjust the

amount of insulin? I am not suggesting this as something to do I am just asking

the question. Thanks, Helen

I think it depends on which insulin; i dont think a person could on

70/30, what i used to be on, without having server lows, which i did

anyway; but when i was switched to lantus and humalog the dr said ,

in response to my question, that is was possible to shot alot of

insulin and eat a whole cake, but then you would end up 500 lbs lol

I know people who do. One of my lodge brothers who died recently--cancer,

nothing do do with diabetes--ate sweets and starches like it was going out

of style; he'd just up his meds or insulin to make up for it.

RE: Question

I would never, for example, eat a pasta meal like the meals I ate

pre-diagnosis and simply inject a half dozen extra units of insulin to cover

the carbs in that meal.

Hi Nina,

It sounds like you are gluten sensitive/celiac. Arline has unsubbed from

this list, but you can find lots of information in the archives that she posted.
