How much insulin our body needs daily? February 16, 2018

Sugar is 69 mg/dl at 2;10 am.
Perfect sugar.
      Yesterday it was 623 units injected in my belly. It is highest dose of insulin I injected so far. Why did I take that dose? How did I counted it? Simple. I counted 240 first shot, plus 240 second shot, and then add-on 142 after supper. In my opinion it was 500 units. It is nothing unusual. I already injected over 500 units. Then I calculated it, and big surprise, it was 623 units. WOW!
Right now sugar is good. I just woke up. I went o bed early. I took this habit recently. I sleep a lot. I take nap at day time, so at night I usually wake up early.
     I wandering, insulin, where it id going? How it is used by body system? All time we educated that insulin needed to convert carbs into source of energy. We educated to count dose of insulin according to the amount of carbs we are going to eat. There is no difference in my diet. I am not hungry, do not eat more then usual. The matter of fact, I eat even less then usual. Also, what is important, my A1c=5.9%, which means there is less gap between insulin in secretion and insulin in demand. At least aas I do understand it. 5.9% is not diabetes.
      All what I can say, the quantity turned into different quality. I do not see that my weight going up right now. Nether it started to drop. I did not have flu shot for many years. So, I did not have flu shot in this season. Now I am sick. My lungs too heavy to move. Only Bi Pop help to do the job. I cannot breath without it. I take Nitrostat every day. It is comprehensive fear of nearby Death. Of cause there is no Death around me. But my heart does not feel in this way.
      In all other points all the same, as usual.
So, now I wandering, why dose of insulin so dramatically up? If I take such dose without being diabetic I probably would not survive. I took less dose of insulin, and then it was low sugar. Yesterday it was 623 units. No low sugar.No even sing of low sugar. I am perfectly OK.
     I do not pretend that now and on I can take 600 units, and I would be fine. I do not believe in that. What I do believe that insulin do much more job then simple convert carbs.What if right now the sugar which was stored in my bones and tissue started to go out? What if it is recovery process which started with such high dose of insulin? What if...?
    As usual, all what I want to say, if you are going through Hell, just keep going. So, I do, I keep going, as far as I can.
