Hi have been a diabetic for 10 years and getting annoyed with some doctors and others who think they know my diabetism for lack of a better name.
I have been happily using Humolog for that time and my night BS were always high and in accordance with what I was told increased my insulin to 60 points at night.
Mornings did not alter and everynow and then checked through the night and my BS were "normal" till about 3 or 4 and then went up to about 180-190. I have a sensitivity to the insulin that gives pains in my chest so I take aerius that stops all the problems.
New Diabetic doctor, throws wobbly and says try Lilly's equiv to Livemir, 3 days, stiff shoulder, middle fingers impaired vision, changed to Livemir, same. Vision now funny in right eye. Eventually doctor said come into hospital and they unbeknown to me gave me metformin (a generic of this is in Livemir, confirmed now by aforesaid doctor).
Oh was I ill, loss of vision, muscle lock ups, could not speak, and so on culminating in crash trolley.
The doctor then listened, taking oral B12 has helped with the pains and the vision and the forgetfulness.
Now I notice that same doctor is giving b12 to others, friends / aquaintences from diabetic clinic have subsequently been given it, apparently they are now testing for it here.
Eyesight has now improved, strength has improved, and finger pains disapeared. It took 8 weeks though.
So now back to 30 am 30 midday and 60 evening with BS of 180, 120, 120. HDl 2-3, ldl 0.5-1
