Talk to Cardiologist on High Sugar Levels
Asking for Other, Male, 63 years old, Karachi
Aoa My uncle is a sugar and heart patient, recently had a heart attack and had angiography 4 times with stents. I have been monitoring his sugar levels on glucometer. As for fasting it's near 200 or above. And 2 hours after meal it's 250-300. His current insulin related dosage is: Novorapid: 12 thrice a day Lantus: 30 once at night time

You have to monitor 2 or 3 days more...if persistently FBS and RBS levels may increase than u have to increase the lantus unit as well as novorapid
so the new regimen would b
Novorapid 14 unit b4 meals
lantus 34 unit at night...monitorinf should b on regular basis
Check HbA1c. Up titrate lantus step-by-step according to fasting sugar. As our main meal is usually lunch so Novorapid can be up titrated by 2 units at lunchtime. If not controlled consult endocrinologist regarding adding OHG. Do echo before consultation with endocrinologist as he may decide the best suited oral hypoglycaemic for the LV function.
