There are more then 100 different types of insulin. Easy to get lost in all the directions, guidance, and education tips from Artists of Medicine. Still, when it comes to real therapy usually they use to say: "Ask your doctor what type of medicine is best for you." The doctor usually answer: "You do not need insulin. You have to lost weight." Period. The end of discussions.
Today it is time of open info. Now at first time we can develop our own collective doctor, and use this tips to address our personal needs. We all do go to Internet to find answers how to fix car, or if the product we are going to buy is good, and so so on. The same about medicine, we all read medical e-jurnals, and get highly educated in all medical problems we face. Usually medical care pro LOL us that we do not understand what do we talking about. True? Sure, why not. It takes time to get educated in medicine and treatment we need.
To say story short there are my tips. Every one free to use it. If these tips naive and not pro, I do not pretend to be educator. I simple told my story, and will be happy if someone will see some benefits from my tips.
Insulin types acording to time release:
short acting insulin and rapid acting insulin, start to work withing 5 min and out of system withing less then two hr.;
Long acting insulin which works 24 hr. or at least 20;
Regular insulin;
Intermediate insulin.
All this info easy to get from pro web sides. I tried all these types, and I stopped on only one type, long acting type of insulin. I take Lantus Solo Star. There are the same insulin, Lantus, but it is different system of administration. I take insulin in pen, very easy to use even in public place.
In education our med pro provide to us it is two types of insulin we have to take:
rapid acting insulin to fight rising sugar after meal, Bolus:
Long acting insulin to underline day long demand in insulin, Base.
Now I really lost, why two of types? After I took Apidra what will happen? Just within less then two hours insulin would be out of body system. This bolus will carry out the glucose which was derived from the meal I just took. So, there is no glucose to be used, and still there is basal insulin which demand glucose. I tried all types of short acting or rapid acting insulin, and I was not able to take blood sugar under control. To add the drama, my sugar in blood going up about from 4 to 5 hours after meal. Bolus insulin, even it was not completely used, vanished from body system. Sugar going up and up, and faster then it is without rapid acting insulin. No any control.
Intermediate insulin is the type of insulin which contain both, short actin insulin and long actin insulin. In other words it is combination therapy, and I never use any combination therapy in my treatment. So, I do not take any intermediate insulin.
Last one is Long Actin Insulin. I take 300 units daily. Highest dose was 434 units within 24 hours. Boston Diabetes Clinic once reported that diabetic was given 4000 units of insulin within 24 hours. Lantus Solo Star works smooth and nice. It stay in system all day long. Yes, it also be low sugar. Any type of insulin would lead to low blood sugar if do not be careful. But it will be another story, another tip.
