According to all guidance med pro give to diabetics, type of insulin we have to chose depend on age and ... how often we check up blood sugar level; what is our goal and .... what do we eat. How any of these recommendations can effect what type of insulin to chose? Simple, it does not effect. Regardless of my age Lantus Solo Star is good for me. This insulin take all diabetics type 1, children including. So, age is not the mark to chose type of insulin.
Goal? To keep blood sugar under tight control. It does not mean that at any time my blood sugar is within normal range. It is simple not possible because of I am diabetic and I do take insulin in injections because of my endocrine system does not secret insulin in amount my body system needs for healthy function. Still, my goal is all the time to keep blood sugar level under tight control, as close to the healthy normal as it is possible.
What do I eat? How this effect the type of insulin I have to chose? Well, it is another problem. Why do I need to chose type of insulin in regard what do I eat? Simple. They all the time present, we have to count carbs because of it effect our level of sugar. Now there is another twist, I have to chose type of insulin in regard what do I eat. It is interesting, is not it? Usually we do not pay too much attention what we told. But I am stubborn. I take all under my attention and I wish to ask doctor, why type of insulin depend on what do I eat? At the same time I have to eat according to the diabetes treatment. Really, I lost, do I have to chose what to eat, or I have to choose type of insulin which is best for me?
To make story short, I do not pay too much attention to this crap. I pay very close attention how my numbers on my personal meter go up and down. This is why when doctor changed Lantus Solo Star to the another type of insulin, Toujeo, I noted very fast, this is not my type. My numbers go up. Dose of insulin go up. Really I did not have that I had sort of allergy. And right now I do not remember what really did I feel at that time. But it was not good, and I did not want my numbers out of my control. So, I returned to old trusted Lantus Solo Star.
With Lantus Solo Star my numbers go up and down. When someone pretend they do have the same number day after day because of they eat right, it is not true, it is scam. If one does not have diabetes then it is true, numbers stay in the range all the time regardless of what one eat. If one is diabetic then regardless how hard we try to keep sugar under control, numbers never the same day after day.
Another point, someone may say, they cured diabetes type 2 for 11 days, three months, and so so on. Scam. It is not possible. Even with insulin and tight control it is not possible to cure diabetes within 11 days or three month. Why? Diabetes started long before numbers on meter went up and diabetes was diagnosed. This mean that the endocrine system disorder already effected all body systems. Our vision got worse. Skin darkened and brown spots show up on the face and other part of body, legs usually. It effected our heart and out lungs, our kidneys and our liver, any tissue we do have already effected long before diabetes type 2 diagnosed. So, to fix the problem, it takes long time to heal heavily effected pancreas. far longer then 11 days or three month.
Final mark what type of insulin chose is, how my body react on insulin. This part takes time. At first we trust in doctor because simple we have no one idea what insulin will do. Then it comes own experience, and it is time when we are ready to make our choice. I tried many times to take both, rapid actin and long actin insulin. It put me on high - low swing, and I do not like it. I stopped all types of short acting, rapid actin, or intermediate insulin, and take only one type, long acting pre-mixed Lantus solo Star.
