I try to find out the connection between level of sugar in blood and dose of insulin I do have to inject or I already injected. I take long acting type of insulin, Lantus Solo Star. As it is in all medical education publications, it will stay in my blood up to 20 hours, or probably even more. It is how it is presented by official medicine developers. The problem is, even I am not really common diabetic because of my very high dose of insulin, no one ever asked me how do it works, for how long I do have level of sugar in blood withing normal range. I use sometimes to take own hour blood sugar reading. So, I could see if sugar under control or it is going low or high. There were no one medical official who ever asked me how so high dose of insulin work for me and how do I stay out of hospital with dose of insulin higher then 300 units daily.
This is really not about me, but about doctor-patient contact and how medicine controlled by medical providers. Really it doesn't look as we are in contact, medical provider, patient, and disease. We are not connected. Usually doctor ask if I do control blood sugar, or blood pressure or temperature of the body, and when all those question asked? When they are out of control. I need medicine to stay alive and functional. In stead I do have blame that it is I who do not control my vitals.
This is why I really do not take as it is reliable to assume that insulin I injected in the morning would be in my blood for the rest of the day. It will not. During day I will take two more shots, if I am lucky and I am not on high/low swings. Still, the pattern, how insulin dose and level of sugar in blood connected is vital for me and it is I who have to find this pattern.
I am reasonable man. I am thinking, probably too much for commoner. And now there is question: How many times any one of us were asked if we control body temperature or not? Yes, I was asked, why? Because of it was time when temperature of my body was elevated, not days or month but years. So, it was taken as it is my temperature of body, and it is normal for me. No one docter ever saw that I am ill, weak, and many other vitals are abnormal. Simple, medical care have no idea how to address to the condition I am in.
Still, for the many of us temperature of body is the same day after day, regardless how much we do eat. What if one get ill and temperature of body risen? Would be that Life style modification is the treatment regime? Not at all. It would be antibiotics therapy, in contrary to Diabetes type 2, potentially fatal medical condition.
Now there is another question: would be it is the question what dose of antibiotics to inject in ICU if one in critical condition? Not at all. The regime of therapy would be based on the ability of body to accept the amount of medicine, and the amount of medicine would be according to the need of body to heal. My English is not really good, so I am not sure if reader understand my point. The point is, antibiotics would be given till body pass turn point and start to recovery. Then under supervision the dose of medicine would go down till full recovery. This is the basic.
Now the question is, why diabetic type 2 have to take this treatment regime such as 'life style modifications' or 'cost effective'? Really why? Because of we are just one to blame why our pancreas cannot secret the amount of insulin our body needs to healthy function? What fault is mine? Nothing under my control. I simple ill person who try to still alive and fight day after day full my life for existence, for the right to live.
Now, when I look at the connection between level of sugar and dose of insulin I am thinking, probably it is the same, take it as it is antibiotic therapy, just take as much as body capable to accept, and try to avoid low blood sugar but do net get to scary of it. Really? It is easy to say but so difficult to do! Today my fasting was 96 mg/dl. Dose of insulin I injected Yesterday was 220 units. I felt very low. I am home, alone, no help if I need it. I try to take insulin shot before every high meal, but it is so scared to inject insulin when I feel low sugar. It is scared. So, at first I went to kitchen to take my meal and after that I took my shot. Not right way to dealing with sugar high or low, but it is way what can I do right now.
