I Am Wondering Why My Doctor Wants My Glucose Between 100 And 180? Is This Normal For Type 1? Is There Such A Thing As Taking Too Much Insul
I was diagnosed in 2001 with type one. Treated the year before as type 2. I’m 71 years old.
You are not too low or too high. The highs and lows are where the damage occurs, and you wouldn’t slip into a problem. I am a very brittle T1D and the range has to be set for your particular condition through your endocrinologist.
I’ve been T1D for almost 4 decades. Over those years I put on so much weight since insulin is a hormone. I asked my Endo if he felt I could be insulin resistant. We discussed going on Ozempic to see if that changes anything. I discovered I was and over the last 2 years, I cut my insulin need by almost 1/3 and I lost 65 pounds. I’m a major success story with Ozempic. We need to be our own advocate and observe what’s happening in our bodies and ask questions and take action. Stay well.
I am 69 years old and my range on my insulin pump is set between 100 and 170. The reason being, your organs are protected from damage, as T1D can damage them if BG isn’ti controlled. I hope that helps you❣️😉
I am 59 years old & have had diabetes for 58 years. My doc likes me to keep sugars around 100. If my pump would allow he would prefer 80s. Thinking range depends on how long, history, health condition(s).
Your Dr determines your range according to your blood glucose, diet and how you manage your diabetes. You can not take too much insulin unless you are having low glucose levels rather than levels in your range. If you get your blood glucose in a lower range perhaps your Dr will lower your range. It takes work! Think positive, relax and stick to your diet, exercise and Dr.
Has Anyone Had A Dangerously Low (41) A Half-hour After Eating? I Ate 2 Small Breaded Chicken Patties And A Lot Of French Fries.
I Would Like To Know If You Are Using An Omni Pod And Whether Or Not You Like It Or Have Issues With It. I’m Considering Going On A Pump.
