The insulin therapy is out of the question for diabetics type 1. As soon as diabetic diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, insulin started and it is assumed, diabetic will take it for the rest of one life. It is very different with diabetics type 2, 95% of diabetics population. Why it is so? In my last post from September 17, 2017 I gave link to the article that 30% of diabetics type 2 avoid insulin when it is recommended, but still, take insulin about two years later. Why it is so?
When I get box of needles for insulin pen I do have instructions how to use these needles, and it is very long instruction, very detailed. Every box of insulin come with instructions, how to us, to inject insulin. There is no instructions, what dose of insulin to inject. All the time we told, diabetics are all unique, so dose of insulin, timing, and type of insulin unique for every diabetic. Is this really true? Not at all.There are millions of diabetics. Is this possible to create unique pattern for every one of us? Really, it is not, and it is easy to see. If so, then why dose of insulin never defined? It is easy to hide behind unique personality. Still, why the dose of insulin defined for type 1 diabetics, and there is no dose for diabetics type 2?
When I started insulin and injected my first 11 units I was diagnosed with diabetes type 2 about ten years, and my fasting sugar was around 400 mg/dl. I got box on insulin as diabetic type 2 outside of clinic as study how insulin can be effective to treat diabetic type 2. I was instructed to add three units every three days if sugar is above the target. When dose of insulin overdo 20 units, and it happened withing one or two weeks, ... well, I had no insulin and I was out of study. Why 20 units is the limit for diabetic type 2? Later I finally find out diabetes type 2, insulin resistance, what is it? It is the type of diabetes when diabetic need more then 200 units of insulin. Ten years of being diagnosed with diabetes type 2 I never had any insulin injection. No one doctor's recommendation, and even no one info and idea how to deal with low blood sugar or how to check up urine for ketones. Simple, diabetics do not have it. If we do not have it then what is the reason to check it? If test never run then how it was found that diabetics type 2 do not have it?
The dose of insulin counted by med pro depend of how many calories or carbs diabetic going to eat. At the same time one of the biggest problem with insulin therapy is low blood sugar. How low blood sugar suppose to be reversed? With carbs, two spoons of sugar, or sweets, and so on. Now the question is, how count dose of insulin if insulin leads to low blood sugar? If one take less carbs then it is in demand to cover high blood sugar then diabetic get down to low blood sugar. Swings. The result of all those calculations, no one can define, how to dose insulin.
To add odds to the drama, the type of insulin plays significant role. Rapid acting or short acting type of insulin is not the same as long acting insulin. At the same time when diabetic finally find out how med pro count dose of insulin, it is W (weight in pounds) :4= U (units of insulin) to inject. Now there are type of insulin, Bolus or Basal. U = Bo +Bs. U is dose of insulin taken daily, 50% Bo + 50% Bs. Is this really possible to work? It is not. So, every diabetic confused, what one must to do? If med pro have no one idea how to initiate insulin therapy then say me, how diabetic can use insulin? The absurd of all math in insulin dosing very easy to see if mind is open. Every one diabetic who take insulin do know very well, basal insulin and Bolus insulin cannot be taken in the same amount. But according to the med pro formula, B0 = Bs. Yes, it can be said, Bo = 60% and Bs = 40% or voce versa. Still, it is wrong treatment and it never works.
After a few days or month riding on High - Low Swings, diabetics type 2 usually give up.Low sugar can put in coma just withing day. High blood sugar needs more time. Time is crucial for us. We take better perspective to survive.
