Hi doctor, I am 31 years old. I was diagnosed with prediabetes at the age of 14. I did not focus much on it until in my 20's when I got diagnosed with actual diabetes with an a1c of 12 or 14. Eventually, I was put on insulin. My first orders were 10 units of Levemir at bedtime and to go up three units every three nights until my fasting blood sugar is below 120. Fast forward to now, I have stopped at 200 units of Tresiba with 15 units of NovoLog with every meal, and 1000 mg twice a day. I eat pretty well. No one really eats perfect, but I focus on a low-carb and no sugar diet. Also, I have an enlarged thyroid, and my liver is fatty with abnormal things on it. I have neuropathy and a weird rash.
Hello. Hope you find my advice beneficial. Good luck. For more information consult an endocrinologist online -->
