Feeling awful--Dr. just doubled my insulin--
I am waiting for Insurance to approve me. They denied my first request. None of the DR.s can figure out why. I have been on 7 shots a day for awhile. Yesterday My Diabetic DR. decided to double my insulin. So now I am on almost 200 units a day. I increased it this morning and thru the day. I feel awful. Dizzy--tired---crabby (as my kids would tell you). Any suggestions to feel better would be appreciated.

Is it causing you to have lows? I would be testing MANY times a day if my insulin were just doubled - that's a big change.
Oh my dear... I am so sorry. What type of insulin are you on currently? I was up to 7 shots a day in 2007. I made the decision to get on an insulin pump that injects novelog every hour. I had a an aic of7 within 50 days.
They are normally covered by insurance and make life a lot more comfortable.
Hope this helps.
Feel better.
