Stopped taking insulin
Hi my father is a diabetes two patient and has diabetes since approx 10 years ,he was injecting insulin directly from last 2 3 years along with other tablets. He lost the pen recently and has not used been injecting insulin from.last 7 days . The blood sugar levels are not shooting upm they are in the range of 170s . How is it possible? When he was using insulin the blood sugar was still in 150-160 range. can this be possible? Or is there any honeymoon period after which the sugar levels will shoot up? Please reply.
Hi..... It is due to good diet control..... Consider dietary changes. Low-fat, high-carbohydrate diets may increase insulin levels, so you may want to consider a low-carbohydrate diet .. Don't severely restrict carbohydrates; instead, choose complex carbohydrates, which are high in fiber. The more fiber in a food, the more slowly it's digested and the more slowly your blood sugar levels rise....
