Yesterday I measured my blood glucose when I was experiencing ravenous thirst. I would drink a quart of water, then on the last gulp, experience an intense thirst. I knew something was wrong.
I measured on the meter and it said "HIGH, OVER 600 mg/dL". It was too high for the meter.
I took 40 units of long-acting insulin and 50 units of a sliding-scale immediate-acting insulin, and in 4 hours I was at 460 mg/dL b/g. Based on how insulin is processed in my body, I extrapolate that at one point I was at 1,100 mg/dL b/g.
I felt death close by me.
I am so concerned about a thug or a government killing me, but the reality is I will die from disease. All my guns won't protect me from diabetes.
i’ve had a fatty liver forever and been in the 90s forever too.
another blood test says i’m FOUR times more likely to have a heart attack than the average person
maybe we can make a gentleman’s agreement just improve things a LITTLE bit :)
i’m gonna be 51 in a few months and I heard this stuff starts to hit hard around 60
I see where you’re coming from, but I use more than one fast acting and slow acting vial per month. Your mileage may vary depending on many factors as do mine.
But in the long term I am subject to replenishing my stash periodically based on my known usage. If the looters clean out WalMart and a black market for insulin does not develop, I am most likely doomed. Even so, I will have to accept whatever happens under the circumstances.
First, Emergency Room or Urgent Care.
Second, Prayer for God’s assistance
Third, your Doctor.
Fourth, Doctor Fung as linked in Post 7 and then low carb, low sugar and fasting.
Five, Daily walking for an hour once stabilized.
Prayers up for you man.
I tried the meds for a week and was bloated and dizzy. I looked up the other side effects for the drug and there were 2 or 3 pages of them. There are a lot of ideas out there for reducing your BP. Statistically strokes don't hit until you are in your 70's anyway. That's pretty much God given lifespan so why fight it. My dad faithfully takes the drugs he is prescribed and suddenly his right leg is numb and he can't stand. What is the relationship between the BP drugs and cutting off circulation to your leg?
Well, do whatever you have to do to get your diabetes under control because we all depend on you to entertain us!

Because of the pages of side known side effects they cause. Because the bible says "the blood is the life" and aging automatically raises almost everyone's BP. I believe that increase is for a reason. Also because many of the people on BP meds are grossly overweight and un-physical, I'm neither. I don't like my BP being high but I want to control it in other ways. I shouldn't have eaten the Whopper for lunch, though. Now I have lunch remorse.
Between your glucose & my 210 / 130 BP, we’d make quite a team. We could die in each others’ arms, darlin’.
May I call you darlin’?
Beer raises the blood sugar...a LOT. Distilled alcohol, like artificial sweeteners that are sugar alcohols, does not. :)
I had a similar problem, though my top reading was 600. I now keep mine under pretty good control (less than 200, often less than 120) by focusing on proteins and limited carbs.
I’d take the meds. My brother was plagued with high BP for years, then one day got up from his chair and the BP spiked. He’s now blind in one eye.
I’ve thought about this extensively and done research into post-type 1 diabetes diets before the discovery of insulin in the 1920s.
If there were to be a black out/TEOTWAWKI event, insulin would become very very precious, but only to Type 1’s, because frankly Type 2’s would either be unsaveable (bed-ridden, kidney problems, etc.) or they would quickly thin out with all the new activity and lack of food resources.
For type 1’s, the type of insulin wouldn’t be so important as availability of it and needles. ALSO TESTERS AND STRIPS.
The real issue would be keeping oneself under 300 or so without being away from resources when you do shoot up and then going hypo. Thus, long acting L would probably be a better bet as you could probably survive the hypo and also safely reduce levels under 300. Also, L already had preservatives, so it would keep much longer than R and 70/30. Also, you’d need a tester ($15) and strips ($20 for 100) from Wal-Mart, and you’d probably only need to test every other day in an end-times situation, as all the walking around is probably going to drop levels even with a slight amount of L.
As a type 1, you’d lose quite a bit of fat and muscle (as would everyone else) so insulin use would be greatly reduced. The only upside would be that needles would be somewhat available.
Interesting what was his age height and weight when that happened? Also how high was his BP?
I used to have high-ish BP 145/100. I’ve quit drinking for two weeks and I’m good at 120/80 now.
A dear friend is having much success with using the sugar substitute Allulose to actually lower her numbers, along with her insulin. She’s gone from over 500 to double digits very quickly. You may want to look into it.
“i’m gonna be 51 in a few months and I heard this stuff starts to hit hard around 60”
Who knows when ye olde bod starts yielding to time and wear and tear? My current various “issues” all started at 70 and I am closer to 80 than 77. Good genes can carry one through a lot of self abuse. Life is a roulette wheel.
Seriously, tho’, I didnt mean to be flippant...
Groceries can be lethal. Please read ingredient labels.
Most processed foods, juice “drinks” (or juice “cocktails”) and even supposedly healthier whole grain breads, are loaded with high fructose corn syrup.
Meat and dairy producing animals are fed hormones to fatten them quickly & make them produce more milk & eggs.
Those hormones fatten us, too.
Dont eat anything from a box (hamburger helper, etc.)
Low-carb. Fresh & home-cooked only.
Q predicted that shit sixteen years ago.
Wake up, take a red pill.
