Wanted to see how you're doing. Hope all is well with you. Drop me a line when you have time.
Hugs!
Hey Debbie! Sending you early Thaksgiving greetings from Canada!Luv....linda!
Great to hear that you are back. No worse for wear is a Good sign. Keep it up. We missed seeing you around. Hugs and Blessings Right Back At You!
It's so good to have you back in the fold Debbie!! Missed ya!Hmmm, about the afternoon numbers. How high & how long after eating? Afternoon is usually when mine are the lowest. Guess it's due to afternoon running around.
A couple of thoughts. Maybe you need a slightly higher Levemir dose in the morning? What are you eating for lunch? Wondering if it's something heavy in protein or fat that's slow in digesting & causing highs later. Can you do some moderate exercise in the afternoon? Nothing major, just like a long walk.
Something I have to do with dinner because of gastroparesis is take a another shot about 3 hours after eating. The delayed stomach emptying
causes me to have lows 2 hours after eating, but highs hours later. I tested a lot for weeks to see when the rise happened so I didn't send myself hypo. How's your BG two hours after eating? The other thing that helped me was taking an injection after I eat, but if your 2 hour numbers are good than this wouldn't work for you. Endo switched me to Humulin Regular because it's slower acting & lasts longer. I've got Apidra for correcting highs.
Hope it works for you! Keep me posted.
Levemir lasts 7-8 weeks. Another plus over Lantus. I keep mine refrigerated after opening. If I travel, I keep in cool in a Frio wallet. Have you started it yet?
