I was told for a few years that I was Type II, finally got the doc to send me to a Endo & come to find out, I'm a Type I. I'm having a really hard time with this. I'm on a load of Insulin & scared senseless. My bs during the day 120-140 but my fasting blood sugars are insane. I'm only consuming about 40 to 50 grams of carbs a day. I no longer eat with my family because they can eat what they like, & it's torture for me. I'm on 22 units of humalog-10 units of byetta for breakfast 6 units of humalog at lunch & 22 units of humalog- 10 units of Byetta at dinner. I'm on 86 units of Lantus at night. I'm no expert but that seems like an awful lot of Insulin. Endo says I'm incredibly inisulin resistant & I think my pancreas hates me.
I'm very depressed now & scared cuz I have two beautiful little girls who happen to be Autistic that I need to be here for.
I'm trying so hard to do this right, I don't know why I can't get these **** fasting BS down & I'm sure you can all relate that if your fasting BS is high it screws your whole day. I go up 30 to 70 points over night. The lowest I've gotten my fasting is 115 & that was when I ate very little & my bedtime sugar was 85. Please, any help,advice encouragement would be so appretiated. If it were'nt for my little girls, I think I would just give up.
PS- I also forgot to mention, my endo is highly recommended but the biggest jerk I've run into in a long time. I fear I may smack some empathy into him soon.
