Insulin pens

You really need something with fast acting glucose in it, you should have been advised this when you were given insulin as you will always need to have a form of this to hand to treat a hypo, if you mean you have diet or sugar free soda then that won't work as you need sugar xx

If you are taking these medications, tripple dose of amaryl these last half year and eucras as well as the insulin, you should have been better prepared by whoever has prescribed the insulin as to what you might expect and to have something available at all times to treat any low blood glucose levels.
You appear to be eating very little, have you been told how much carbohydrate to eat for your insulin doses.

I think you might find that people can help a bit more if you give a bit more information about what you are doing, what you are eating and when and when you are having your insulin and other medications if you are still taking those and what levels you are seeing at particular times of the day. The more information you give the better the support people can give.
Most people taking insulin do lots of testing and you make little mention of that.
I know all this is new to you and it will take a while to get to grips with it.
 
Had 3.5dl sugar soda and i drank that. I eat a fast din er so now my blod sugar landed on 5.5

Have you got any honey or jam? Milk is ok but you need something sweet with it.

Tomorrow, buy some glucose tablets eg Dextro, and then you will always have something to take.
 
Hello and thank you. I have been eaten to,so i dont think it will drop again, i hope. But it first now inslun has been working. IT droppet so fast so i was so warm.my heart was beeting so hard and fast and i saw fuzzy and i god nocy
 
Feeling all hot is a sign of a hypo (low blood sugar). Hypos are horrible but they’re also potentially dangerous because your blood sugar could fall to very low levels. Always have sweet things with you in case you have a hypo. Also keep some plain biscuits in case you need a snack.

When you go to bed tonight, make sure your blood sugar is around 8mmol. If it’s not, have a small snack. I would also set an alarm to get up and test your blood sugar in the night sometime around 1/2am. Then you can make sure it hasn’t dropped low again.
 
Okey i understand. But i have been eaten a allround din er with everything so No lowkarbo today. Mye bloodsugar is now
 
Are you in the UK? as food products are not allowed to be sold labelled as Diabetic.

Who has advised you to take doses this large? It is not a typical starting dose and may be too much.
