610 units of Insulin daily dose. February 23, 2018

       610 units of insulin daily dose. It is difficult for me to even think I can take it. But the matter of fact, I do inject 610 units day after day. Probably I will not inject so high dose and soon it would be dropped. At least now is February, Spring in over the corner. In Spring and in Summer sugar all the time go down. Still today it is 610 units. No low sugar.
      Well, right now today I woke up with 52 mg/dl. Is this 'low'? Yes, it is. If I would not take my coffee right away soon I would feel, I am in 'low'. But because of I woke up, took my meal, or usually cold cappuccino stand on my deck, so, I am OK and no any problem with low. With less dose of insulin and higher number on glucose meter there can be feeling, I am very very 'low'. I was in that situation with 110 mg/dl, hardly was able to walk and to get home. Now with 52 mg/dl I am pretty OK.
       A few years ago I had friend. He was obese, very ill. One day I saw him, and he lost a lot of pounds. The matter of fact he lost 137 pounds. But it was later. I asked him, how he got there. TaiSlim. So I ordered this drink, and I lost 60 pounds, from size 3WX doen to 18W. I did not take insulin at that time, only oral medicine.
     "How is your sugar?" I asked him.
     "Great" - he answered. -"I woke up with 48 mg/dl"
     "But it is very low!"
      "Not at all. I woke up and start to eat,sugar getting up."
     "I woke up and start to work. Sugar dropping."  _ said I .
As I said, I took Metformin and Glipizide at that time.  He took insulin.
Soon he stopped to take insulin, and was really very very great. His daughter also stopped to take insulin. Now she perfectly fit, very beautiful lady. I contrary, two years ;later I got MI, stroke, rapture in one side, clot in another side. Only my Gardian Angel do know hos did I survived.  All pounds returned.  And I'm getting bigger and bigger with every day.  Soon would be in full bloom of 400 pounds. Happily I do have scooter now.
     Finally in 2011 I stopped to take all Trash Medicine at once. No Metformin. No Glipizide. Insulin, and insulin only. At first I took both, long acting insulin and rapid acting insulin. I did not work for me good. So, I stopped to take any insulin, but Lantus Solo Star only. At least I could survive. Without this modifications in my treatment I would  not.
       I started with 11 units. Then dose of insulin got up and up. My only limit, low sugar. If sugar getting low one day after another, and it is hurt, I start to reduce dose of insulin, to be comfortable and functional. So, dose of 610 units right now is OK. I am not in pain, now low sugar feelings.
     Usually with low sugar we start to drop dose of insulin. I did it many times. It is all the time back-and-forth. But I realized, to drop dose of insulin before time lead to crash. At first it is low sugar, and then right after low sugar skyrocke. So, in stead to drop insulin I try to be on the same dose as long as I can. It is really difficult to enplane how to do so. I just got filling of  it.
      Now dose of insulin getting over 600 units. In contrary of my believes. I expected that in Spring sugar will go down, the dose of insulin would drop. Not as I hoped. Right opposite. I stepped over 300 units, then 400 units, and not it is 600 units and I am OK with that.So happy I do have Insulin Supply. Even 300 units was $2000. How much it would be not? Fear to say.
     A few days ago I had clinic in Sleep Center. Doctor said, Sleep Aphnea getting better. I have severe shortness of breath. I try to less move because of my legs. They are like water columns. Knees are very wide. But good news, legs are dry, no wounds. They are burgundy in color. Circulation is poor. But no wounds. It is already good news. They are wrapped all the time. Supply of wraps so expensive. $49 for 18 rolls, if I am lucky to get this price. My man use one wrap twice. It is presented that one warp can stay on place for 7 days. Not for me. At first, it start to fall, because of water go away and legs getting smaller. And second, it is itching. So, one wrap for 7 days, but two times to re-wrap it.
