Well good news was that she didn't think his bloods were too high as she said she had seen worse! but high enough that action needs to be taken now so lantus has been upped by 2 units and his leg has gone lumpy as he keeps injecting in the same leg all the time, so been advised to start injecting in his tummy which he hates as last time it was painful for him, she gave him a box of 4mm needles as he uses 6mm at the moment.
She explained about the need for insulin to him just before a big snack, anything more than 1 thing and it needs insulin so that's just his evening snack and that will cover that, he started off well today with his blood sugars but by teatime and evening it has risen quite a lot, also need to pinpoint the foods that are affecting his blood sugars.
We are also starting to carb count so she is arranging with the dietitian for him to get started on this, its not gonna be easy but main concern is getting his blood sugars to a good level and that he feels 100% again and not constantly tired and moody all the time like he is the now.
Will be interesting to see what his hba1c is when he has clinic next month.
