I was diagnosed T2D last July after my 4th or 5th pancreatis flare up. I had my gallbladder removed and first of many pancreatitis attacks in 2014. I am now diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis. I just started seeing an endo who put me on Humolog 3x a day and Levemir at night. My calcium levels are high and he said…

142.

Well I was concerned my fbg would be too low so ate some peanut butter and only took 7 units. Experiment failed. 142

If your BG was 309 before dinner and you took 8 units of Humolog and your bedtime number is 130 ....would you take 15 units of Levemir? Curious....

112. Happy Friday.

I don't have any problems with leg...sometimes stomach shots hurt.

You'll get this dialed in with the help of your new endo. Biggest thing is, you're on it![/quote] Thanks for the vote of confidence.

Just checked before lunch, dropped to 134 :)

.174 this morning

194 (Forgot to post last night)

I was.

Yes, it's been this and lower in the morning lately. I do prefer 90's more than 70's lol, but my gastroenterologist doesn't want me to go too far below 100 or I'll have more problems with my pancreas.

That sounds like a good start! We're you pretty satisfied with the appointment? [/quote] I was. He was very straight forward without being condescending like some doctors can be.

Thanks Ralflott. I dont feel bad, we'll figure it out. Dr appt today went ok. He took lots of blood and is going to run a bunch of tests. He is sure that due to my pancreas issues that it is not producing/releasing insulin like it should. He is giving me novolog to take before meals and reducing my Levemir to 15 units. I…

Yes, thank you, and i have been making changes along the way.

Yes, I keep a food log but it does not include times. I only take insulin at night right now and meds 2x a day. I am planning on going over diet and meds with endo today and hopefully we can get to some kind of normal. I'll keep you posted

400. Well that's a little unexpected. I was expecting to be high, I ate misc CRAP but not too much at bbq today and had Chinese for dinner...never ending learning curve.

74 and shakey

281 tonight

Im so lost...my numbers are all over. I only took 10 units last night and tgia morning i am at 171. (241 when i went to bed) I have lots of dietary and med/supplement questions. Since I have these underlying pancreas issues I'm not supposed to have any alcohol, the other night was the first time in months.

I was drinking vodka

241. Took 10 units instead of 20, let's see what happens

I was never told not to drink because of diabetes. I am not supposed because of my pancreas, which is why i haven't in like 6 months. Since the two are related I should have guessed there would be an issue Now I know. Learning curve.

I did (bacon egg cheese tortilla) and it went up to 170 2hours later. .. I had a couple drinks last night which I normally don t and took my Levemir so thinking that had a lot to do with the drastic drop. I am hoping tomorrow will be "normal"
