How To Keep Blood Sugar Levels Under Control?
Question: Hello - My blood sugar is always high in the morning around 200 even though I haven't eaten anything all night. I take 40 units of Humalog Mix 50/50 in the morning. What can I do? Thanks
Brief Answer:
Need evening dose too
Detailed Answer:
Good day,
Welcome to healthcare magic. Are you taking Insulin only in the mornings? What medicines do you take at night ? Humalog mix doesnt last 24 hours. I just lasts maximum 12 hours. So if you take injection only in the morning, the effect wear out by evening. That must be the reason why your fasting sugar is high.
