i ahte diabete high BS
dear frustrated pt,
As I told you before you need to have a serious sit down with dr. sapala and mary about you, your health and your surgery goals. You should be on an atkins diet as per mary zotos the nutritionist. the purpose of this is to regulate your glucose g1 levels. I too was a diabetic and their advice has me know way under control. You need to see him asap dont delay. 500 plus is very dangerous and bad starches like bread, white rice and flour can be very harmful. Try meat and green vegetables. Ask Mary z to give you the list of what to eat and how often. Good luck and God bless.

The higher you go the more it is going to take to bring you down. Say if your 200+ and 1 unit of insulin drops you about 40 points. But when you are 400 - 1 unit of insulin might only drop you about 20 points.
Biggest thing when you are that high.
1. where are you taking your injection - and how is it being delivered?
any time you inject more than 30 units, it can pool under the skin and not get properly absorbed and utilitzed.
2. increase your fluid intake to help the body flush out the sugar, this is something it will do naturally. Will also help to avoid other issues
3. What time of insulin are you taking? Know your insulin peaking time for your body, and learn how long insulin remains in your body, and remains active.
I know for me humalog is done with me by 3 to 4 hours. Some folks its longer.
4. Work with your doctor about coming up with your correction factor.
(bg mg/dl - 150) / 50 = insulin dose
the 150 is your target bg level. 150 is high to start with, but its a way to play and find out what your factor is. Then the 50 is how many bg points does 1 unit of insulin drop you.
HOpefully this can be some useful information for you.
