What Causes Elevated Insulin Levels In A Type 2 Diabetic Person?

I am a 59 yr old male type 2 diabetic. I eat properly and take my meds on time. I am currently residing in a nursing home, due to an abnormal gait and the sudden inability to walk. However my sugar level keeps rising, causing the nursing home to increase my insulin from 45 units daily (given am and pm) to 70 units 3 times daily. Why is my sugar level continuing to rise??

Hi. Thanks for writing to HCM.
I read and understand your question .
i try my best to help you a lot.

As your insulin unit increase from 45 unit to 70 unit.
There are many causes for this like hyperglycemic diet, taking high carbohydrate diet . Stress , tension is also one of cause to increase insulin level. I suggest you not to take lot of tension or stress regarding this.
Enjoy your life and do work that you enjoy.
Take regular diet and medicine regularly. Avoid food having high glycemic index.

I hope my advice will help you a lot.
Thanks and Regards.
