Daily Care

I am not overweight, I do exercise, I am in generally overall good health, and I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes about three months ago. Is this a common mistake to make? My levels are wild even though I have a good diet, and exercise now sends my levels all over the place for a week.

I recently changed doctors and had previously been taking 2000 mg of metformin daily plus 2 insulin shots, morning and evening. My new doctor wants me to stop taking the metformin and increase my insulin. My last A1C was 8.1. I have had type 2 diabetes for 30 years. It has just been within the last year that my A1C has been this high. What is your advice?

We switched my son to Humalog before meals and Lantus, and I am concerned about his nighttime blood glucose levels. I obviously know that the very high blood glucose during the night is not good for his little body, but that is what we need to do to have him wake within normal range. Is it normal for 30 grams of carb to raise his blood sugar so high?
