Lantus and Humalog are prescription-only insulin medicines, and the correct doses depend on your son's blood sugar levels, age, weight, diet, and activity. Please consult his doctor, who can review his condition and safely prescribe and adjust these medications.

You should not adjust your Humalog dose on your own. An HbA1c of 8.5 indicates that your blood sugar is above the recommended target. Please consult your doctor, who can review your blood glucose patterns, diet, and lifestyle, and safely adjust your insulin regimen if needed.

I have type 1 diabetes mellitus, my postprandial blood sugar (PPG) is 300?mg/dL, and I have lost about 5?kg in 25 days. I am also feeling weak. Can you please suggest the appropriate treatment?

A post-meal sugar level of 300 mg/dL with weight loss and weakness suggests your type 1 diabetes is not well controlled and needs medical attention. You may require adjustment of your insulin dose, proper meal planning, and checking for ketones to rule out complications. Please consult your doctor immediately, as timely insulin correction and monitoring can prevent serious problems.

Why is her fasting blood sugar high despite taking 20 units of Humalog and 2 mg of Pioglitazone at night?

Her fasting blood sugar may be high because Humalog is a rapid-acting insulin that works mainly around meal times and does not last long enough to control blood sugar overnight. Other factors may include diet, late-night snacks, delayed stomach emptying, stress, illness, or insufficient basal insulin. She should discuss this with her doctor, who may adjust her insulin or treatment plan to achieve better blood sugar control.
