Day by Day, Year by Year I run my studies how number on glucose meter and dose of insulin come together. This is most important question we have to answer every day, day after day. What dose of insulin to inject right now? There is no one who will answer to this question to us. We have to find our way to do so. I am type 2 diabetic, I am not type 2 diabetic who started to inject insulin since childhood under mammy control. I injected my first dose in 2011, 11 units. Now it is over 500 units daily. Some day I scared, where all these insulin going? What really going on with my problems? Do I get better, or it is stray line to grave? I hope it is not. Not so long ago I injected just 300 units. Now it is over 500 units. I do not know what limit will be. I just follow advice of Wise Man: If you going through hell, just still going. I still going day after day.
Very often I can read that diabetes can be reversed with right life style or with some medicine. When I take a look at, how diabetes reverse was detected and it is only one way to see: blood sugar started to get lower in the short period of time. 8 weeks on crash diet, sugar dropped. Diabetes type 2 reversed. After diet returned to the normal calorie consumption, 1800 what happened? Did diabetes type 2 come back? Did numbers on the glucose meter returned back to high spick? Out Fake Medical Pro do not care to answer to so simple questions. So disgusting!
I tried for long to find out how to count dose of insulin.Dose of insulin based on the weight. There are some slide scale, I never used it. Probably there are many other tips how to find out what dose of insulin to inject. No one of these tips ever worked for me. to increase shot on 3 units does not make any significant difference. The difference for me can be up to 100 units, and more. No one doctor will give any recommendations to me. I have to find my own way.
What I found at first that it is very bad idea to mix types of insulin. I tried many times, not good result. So, I stopped on the only one type of insulin, Lantus Solo Star. It is pen, 300 units each pen. I tried to take Toujeo Solo Star. This type of insulin did not work for me. In this type there are many menerals and elements added to insulin, and looks like I got allergy to that elements. I need pure insulin, insulin and water. All minerals and elements I do have in mineral water I take every day. So, if it is added in medicine I got poison effect. So, I stopped this type of insulin and returned to trusted Lantus Solo star.
I did try fast acting insulin such as Novolog, Apidra, and some other I do not remember now. I was on high-low swings, riding from high to low numbers and back to high. I stopped Novolog, and never returned to this type of insulin. It is good insulin. I did not have allergy, or any other problems. I just was not able to control blood sugar with this type of insulin.
I started insulin with 11 units. Soon dose run up and up. I tried to reduce dose of insulin every time when I got low blood sugar numbers. But finally I realized, it does not work as I hoped. after low sugar there is all the time spike in blood sugar level, high blood sugar, regardless how do I eat. Low blood sugar all the time accompanied by high blood sugar. So, if I reduce dose of insulin I got on swing and no balance. I stopped that practice. Now, if sugar is low I take insulin shot before meal, and do not reduce daily dose. I rather increase it.
There are many surprises I found in my studies. I posted that I take insulin injection when sugar is low before first bite. It works very very well. Big surprise. I do not reduce dose of insulin if sugar going low. I try to have something to eat just to spread my hand. Usually it is coffee or apple. I love apples. Now I discovered another secret. With time low sugar does not go so low. Now I can feel it before too late. And most important, sugar does not drop very fast. It does not run up too high, but also it does not drop too low. 534 units and sugar is above 50 mg/dl. Yes, it is low a little bit, still it is not fatal. With time it started to rise, and now low sugar, fasting sugar above 60 mg/dl. I still not figure it out yet, will post later, but it is very very big surprise for me. Really, dose of insulin going up and up, and sugar does not drop too low. Where all these insulin going? No answer so far. I simple still going.
