optifast and diabetes

Hi there, 

I'm currently on optifast and I also have diabetes. I have to test my sugat before each shake. TWH says if our sugar is below 6 two times in a row to lower insulin by 50%. So I've completely went off my long lasting insulin and down to 2 units of.my fast acting insulin. My sugar is now above 6 but now between 8-9. I went back on 2 units of long lasting insulin this morning. 

My question is, although our sugar levels is supposed to be above 6, is it supposed to be between a certain number,  for example,  between 6-10? Do I need to increase my insulin?  I've been adding extracts to the shakes, it doesn't have any nutritional content on the bottle,  but when I input it into My fitness pal, it says 0 carbs. Do you think this could be increasing my sugar levels? When I cut insulin down to 2, sugar was between 6-7for a day, now between 8-9.

Please  help. 

Thanks, 

Jen

You need to talk to your nurse.  As they know your medical history

Thanks spenceymommy, 

I'm going to cask them this morning. It was 9 this morning,  too high.

Thanks for your help!
