🩺 Current Insulin Regimen Review
- Human Actrapid (short-acting insulin) doses of 10 units in the morning and 5 units in the evening help manage blood sugar spikes around meals.
- Human Insulatard (intermediate-acting insulin) doses of 20 units in the morning and 5 units in the evening provide basal insulin coverage.
- Timing insulin about 15 minutes before meals is important for optimal effect.
🩺 Blood Glucose Monitoring
- Regular blood glucose checks before and after meals help adjust insulin doses safely.
- Target blood sugar ranges should be individualized by your endocrinologist to avoid both high and low levels.
🏥 Lifestyle Considerations
- Maintain a balanced diet with consistent carbohydrate intake to match insulin doses.
- Regular physical activity improves insulin sensitivity but may require dose adjustments to prevent lows.
⚠️ Hypoglycemia Awareness
- Watch for symptoms like sweating, shakiness, confusion, or palpitations.
- Always carry fast-acting glucose (e.g., glucose tablets or juice) to treat low blood sugar promptly.
🩺 Follow-up and Specialist Care
- Regular follow-up with an endocrinologist is essential to optimize your insulin regimen and monitor for complications.
- Routine screening for eye, kidney, and nerve health is recommended.
Consult your endocrinologist for personalized adjustments and ongoing management to keep your diabetes well controlled.
