Newbie diabetic: some questions

[Guest guest]

Hello,

As a result of my pancreatectomy I have become a diabetic. We of

course hope this is is temporary, and all in all my transplanted islet

cells are working well.

My current insulin/blood check regimine is this:

I take NPH 11 units twice a day always

I take Regular insulin according to a sliding scale. 100-149 = 3units,

150-199 = 6 units, etc

I check my blood 4 times a day (7AM, noon, 5PM, and 10PM)

My ranges are getting more and more narrow. I currently range from

100-135.

With my levels as they are, how does this classify me in terms of

severity? Is this mild diabetes?

Since I have one to two readings daily that are 120 or greater should

my doctor consider increasing the number of units of NPH I get? Should

my sliding scale doses give me more regular? Should there be more

effort made to adjust my insulin to keep me totally within the normal

range?

I am new to all this so any advice or ideas are welcome! Tips, tricks

too! I feel like a pro with the syringe, drawing up shots, mixing

insulins, and checking blood. But I don't have much a groove yet for

exactly where I am in terms of diabetes.

Thanks for you help!
