My Readings In The Morning Are Very High
A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am struggling with morning highs and seem to be needing to take much more insulin which I really dont want to do. I go to sleep at night with a certain reading, take insulin Apidra and Lantus and wake up in the morning with the high reading. I have also noticed that the reading does sometimes drop during the course of the night but is high again when I wake up. Also have put on weight. I dont know whether this is a result of wrong eating or whether medication can also stop being as… read more

Fasting Blood Sugar Or Fbs As We Call It For Short, How Does This Work
A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭

For those who have high fbs just remember it has nothing to do with what you ate the night before. Because usually we have a good 3 to 5 hrs between meals while awake, and our numbers are pretty decent in between meals. Also if you test your sugar level after 2 hrs of eating your last meal of the day, you will be at the highest peak at that 2 hr point and then your numbers start going down as per usual.

Has Anyone Had Weight Loss Surgery To "cure" Diabetes?
A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have been told that after having this surgery I would no longer have to treat my diabetes. However I am wondering if I would be trading one set of problems for another. Since I have a weight problem being approved is not a problem, but I prefer to do things as naturally as possible. Some insight would be helpful and appreciated.

Weight Gain On Insulin
A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭

Has anyone had problems with weight gain on insulin (I take Tresiba)? My doctors said it is an unfortunate side effect of insulin. I work out at the gym 3-4 times a week and still gained weight. Have been watching what I eat and mostly drinking water but still gaining instead of losing or maintaining. Any tips would be appreciated.

A DiabetesTeam Member

Cut the carbs, simple carbs are sugars, complex carbs are carbs. Cut the carbs.
