Started insulin. Still annoyed by stubborn fasting numbers
I’m 31+3. I started tracking my blood sugar at home before being prescribed insulin and it was very evident that my fasting numbers were not within target. All other numbers were below the 140 goal an hour after eating. Well, I’ve been taking insulin for a week now and my fasting numbers still won’t get below 95. It’s annoying. First night I accidentally took “up to” 15 units per the general instructions and then my husband reminded me the Dr. said to start with 4 units and after messaging my Dr. about progress so far, the Dr. said to increase to 7 units. My numbers are great before bed and just shoot up overnight. Ugh. I really don’t get it. Sharing numbers below.
Saturday 5/9: 101 - 15u (accidental high dose🙈)
Sunday 5/10: 101 - 4u
Monday 5/11: 116 - 4u
Tuesday 5/12: 107 - 4u
Wednesday 5/13: 103 - 7u
Thursday 5/14: 115 - 7u
Friday 5/15: 109 - 7u
Saturday 5/16: 123 - 7u
