We partly attribute this to our policy of adjusting his dose of long-acting Lantus insulin from time to time, with a rule of thumb, "If two doses give about the same results, give him the higher one, to take some of the load off his pancreas." The less hard his pancreas has to work, the longer it lasts (our goal is "forever"), and the more it can take up the slack if Karl has more cabs than expected. He was down as low as six units, we're at seven now, and we'll likely inch it back up to eight.
Because Karl's autism means that he likes his routine, he's settled into both a dietary and a daily medical routine very well. Because he doesn't pine for treats or change his mind about what he wants for dinner based on what's going on around him, it's very easy to stick with things that work. He's even very good-natured about going into Dairy Queen and getting one or two of their low-carb ice cream bars (the only things in the store that don't have inconceivable levels of sugar).
Everything would be golden if my employer, Citrix, hadn't shifted from an excellent Blue Cross health-insurance plan to a ghastly Cigna one. I'm thinking I'm going to have to buy supplemental insurance to maintain a decent level of care.
Here's Karl's blood sugar graph from the last month:

As a sign of gratitude for how my husband was saved from diabetes , i decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.
ReplyDeleteMy husband was diagnosed of diabetes and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because he was my all and the symptoms were terrible, he had difficulty eating, and he always complain of stomach pain and he always Urinat often . we tried various therapies prescribed by our neurologist but none could cure him. I searched for a cure and i saw a testimony by someone who was cured and so many other with similar body problem, and he left the contact of the doctor who had the cure to diabetes . I never imagine diabetes has a cure not until i contacted him and he assured me my husband will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my husband used it and in one months he was fully okay even up till this moment he is so full of life. diabetes has a cure and it is a herbal cure contact the doctor for more info on drwilliams098765@gmail.com on how to get the medication. Thanks for reading my testimony
