You would be best getting some more urine strips to check for them x

You really need to test for ketones though, you should really have some urine strips and keep them in a cupboard just in case x

So have you actually increased your Lantus to the original amount you were on 60 units or are you stubbornly sticking to the 50 units to keep your weight down?

It's more than obvious you are not taking enough background insulin. Obviously it's your sight, kidneys and limbs at stake not anyone else's.
The fact you are falling asleep means you are poisoning yourself (toxic ) with the amount of sugar in your blood.

I'd be getting myself to A&E personally! xx

 

[Lisa glass]

Yea I increased them back to 60 along time ago , do u think I should up the back ground insulin any advice greatly recieved x

 

[Kaylz]

You need to go and get checked out with levels like that and no way of checking ketones x

Do u think it's that bad x

 

[Kaylz]

With the levels you have had consistently lately you are very likely to have ketones present, they can be very dangerous, plus in the long term it will cause damage too like Sue says, it's not healthy to just be continuing along with levels like that on a day to day basis and if it were me I would be very worried and getting myself checked properly xx

Not according to your post yesterday you haven't.

Basically Lisa we can not help you unless you help yourself. It's blatantly obvious you are not having enough insulin, so either go to A&E to be told the same thing or do something about it yourself.

Just makes me so angry because no one really wants to help I've already got numb feet hands and my eyes are really bad xx

 

[Kaylz]

They will help if you tell them all the problems you are having! you just say they are useless but your not pushing to get anything done about it, if they don't listen keep pushing it's your health at stake! xx

 

[Lisa glass]

I meant 60 yesterday not 50 I don't know wat else to do I'm drinking loads trying to burn the sugar with excercise !!

 

[Lisa glass]

It's so hard to actually get an appointment at my surgery then they just say more blood tests sick of it

 

[Kaylz]

Go to A&E and get seen to then! it seems like you aren't doing enough to be seen or push to find an answer, sorry but it does, it's not easy to be seen at any GP Surgery but something needs to be done and quite frankly I'm be more worried than you seem to be about consistent high levels, have you corrected with your QA? xx

 

[Lisa glass]

QA??
