Hello. I have been married to a type 1 diabetic for 5 years now. My wife is extremely smart, so I've always listened and helped her according to her needs. She's 26 now and I am 33. Up to now, she's taken huminalin N (1 a day) and R (twice a day). Her childhood endo and then one we had been taking her to kept that norm. Then we moved back to her home area of Dallas and had to find another one. This doctor said that her regiment was a hold over from her being a kid and should have been changed before now. She's changing it to be one long term shot and then a different shot anytime she eats carbs (and she will have to calculate how much to take). From my understanding, it won't be R and N any longer. That will be happening within a month, because they have to retrain my wife first on how to do it. Anyway that's backstory. My wife sometimes gets into spells of getting low at night (it wakes her up). She'll drink a glass of juice or something, wait 20 minutes. The problem is, it doesn't always work that fast. So she'll drink a bit more, and eventually after 2 hours stop being low. And then the next morning, she'll be high. I'm hoping this new insulin helps. But we've never really gotten a direct answer from her past endo's about why that happens to her. Sometimes she'll go along without this happening at all. Any ideas on this? Is it normal for a juice or a coke to take 2 hours to help her BS?
