Question
I have been on
a new drug for two months and still have high readings (200-350 mg/dL
[11.1-19.4 mmol/L]) daily. I have lost at least 12 pounds by not wanting to
eat as much as before, the change in my medicine and the way I take or
took the insulin. I am taking 10 units of insulin at night only.
My doctor said to give it
a few months to make the change over. Has anyone else been having trouble
with high readings this long and being very dehydrated with blurry vision
more so now?
Answer
Your values are way too high. You should see your doctor as soon as
possible. This means in days, not weeks or months. If your doctor's office
is unable to schedule an appointment, ask for a
referral to a specialist or
go to an Emergency Room or Urgent Care Clinic.
