Usually the morning will depend on what you eat and did last night.

not enough sleep/ less quality sleep will bring the sugar high. stress also contribute to high sugar.

we found the root cause of all human suffering: DISEASE!

After a week on 100% insulin jab i.e 8 ut Insulatard b4 bed and 8ut of Actrapid on every meals during day time.. My results seems to be yoyo Certain days..I'm getting good result of ~ 4.8-5.6 FSB and also reasonable 2hrs BS reading of ~ 6.8 to 8.8

But during last week, I got 2 incident of Hypo..i.e last Sunday afternoon as mentioned earlier and 2 nights ago when I woke up middle of the night and feeling so cold & hand shaking. I straight away took the reading and it was 3.9! And on certain day..my random hrs after meals reading wer horrible..ranging from 11 to the high of 18 damn

I suspect all those high readings were due to the timing I took the reading & also more carbo food I took..for eg.. the reading of 18 was ~ 3.5hrs after lunch and ~4 hrs after insulin. and I took one big canto fried ying yong that day

Hopefully my 2nd week will be better as I started increasing to 9 ut MYSELF from Today

Medical journal on incretin type drug i.e victoza.

http://diabetes.diabetesjournals.org/conte...7d-651738e22e43

summary: finding show potential of tumor arising from the usage of incretin type medication

anyone using victoza, byetta or anything incretin should discuss with your doctor.

I stop using Victoza since two weeks ago. No changes in appetite, blood sugar or weight.

Hmnnn Why? I thought you are on clinical trial .So now you on what drugs since u said everything OK?

BTW, I visited my Doc on last Friday. She asked me to maintain my day insulin at 8 ut instead of 9 that I administered myself .. My reason, certain time esp breakfast & Lunch result >8 and few times >10. but there are many occasions of result below 5 too and she told me she rather me to be ~ 6-8 rather than below 5!...so go back to 8ut

just on metformin 750mg. morning results between 4.8 - 5.2 and after food between 6.4 - 7.5

Wah.. Your diebetic probably still in infancy..Metformin totally failed me years ago before I added in - glicamide & thereafter to Glicazide

However I still on metformin bcos the Doc said it is a cancer prevention drug

I had diabetes since 2003 so basically 10 years already. Doctor said since I'm losing weight the condition has reversed. Currently the body no longer diabetic. Technically they said (i have two doctors on my diabetic) cure but since diabetes has no cure they just remind me to keep up whatever i did with the diet and exercise.

So nice of you and most probably you're confirmed type 2 with obesity and now going normal weight already? For me.. > 20 yrs ago. and my weight is also lesser than what I initially weighted when 1st diagnosed. I was 76kg and now avg 68kg. However far from the reading when I managed to reduced my weight to 58kg within 2 yrs after 1st diagnosed

However at current lifestyle not easy although possible to go back to 58kg - At this 58kg.. my reading avg 6-8 only for fasting compare to b4 insulin of 11-12. Atleast with insulin, I am maintaining my reading of 5-8 right now

for elder people, diabetes is a progressive disease. my dad also have diabetes, he is 65 yo. so having a blood sugar at 8 in the morning is already good.

my case is different since i'm a young diabetic.

I'm still young mah (At heart too ) just mid 40. so my target is getting below 7 most of the time..so if result showing >7.. really frustrated lor Yesterday result was good & so do this Morning. No more going below 5 for the past few days. Yesterday on brown rice dinner + 1 pear & apple for dessert. Got 6.4 after 2 hrs and this Morning -6 ..During weekend abit yoyo (6.9 to 10.8) bcos, took hokkien mee for dinner & lotsa junk

then you already know which food will help which food dont help hehe

Still not perfect yet and costing me atleast RM84/mth for the OneTouch test strip to monitor atleast twice a day. Prior to insulin, I only monitor once a week!! and mostly neglect and naïve about the food I took.. There are few things I found:

- I can't take 1 bowl of rice anymore. By just cutting down to 1/2 or 3/4 bowl of rice for each meal, my result after 2 hrs will be perfect at 5.5- 6.8. If I took 1 full bowl - the result is about 8-9

- Apples & pears are 2 best fruits that will not increase my blood sugar compare to mango, guava, oranges, banana (2nd worse) & grapes (Worse)..I have yet to try durian/rambutan/langsat/longan yet

- Contrary to my earlier belief of taking so called hi-fibre biscuits as normal breakfast, This is not a good option as just 3 pc of Jacob hi-fibre crackers & another 3 of Hwatai vege coated cream cracker also can resulted in avg 8.8-9,5 reading after 2 hrs. Later on I found out avg biscuit having Carbo reading of >65gm for every 100gm of meal...bad actually..

From my research, it's best taking food wth glycaemic reading of below 55 and also carbo level of below 60gm for every 100gm.. and with that, I started taking only hi-fibre wholemeal bread /wheat germ bread for a start...with avg 48gm per 100gm of carbo. Maybe will continue with something I hate most- OATs!!

I'm going to experiment with Sweet Potato see if it going to rise the BS after taking it.

You can manage ur diabetes with proper nutrition. Insulin injection wil usually control it to a certain period of time n then it gets worse n u hv to inject more n more n more till its uncontrollable. then ur organs starts to fail one after another. beware!

that only true for people with working pancreas. they can control diabetes with proper nutrition and exercise like me but elderly people and people with type 1 whose pancreas not producing insulin have no choice but to take insulin. the notion of insulin promotes organ failures is baseless and unfounded. Organ failures happen when you don't managed your diabetes.

why do ppl with workin pancreas who can produce insulin but somehow the body is not sensitive to insulin yet stil hv to take more insulin?

most of this particular type are obese. when you are obese insulin resistance increase.
