Mystery? Well, there is no Mystery. The dose of insulin determined by weight divided by 4. If my weight is 400 pounds, then daily dose of insulin is 100 units. This divided by half. One half is bolus insulin, we have to take it after the meal. Another half is basal insulin, which covers daily needs in insulin. Simple.
There is another weight to find our dose of insulin. It is start with very low dose, and then add-on 3 units every three days if sugar still high, or take off three units if sugar is low then normal. Also so simple.
There is only one problem with it. It does not work in this way. Also very very simple.
Yesterday I injected 305 units of Lantus Solo Star. In the morning fasting sugar was 42 mg/dl. Day before Yesterday I injected 305 units and 160 units, two shots withing 24 hours. In the morning fasting sugar was 57 mg/dl. So, just for two days dose of insulin I injected dropped from 445 units down to 305 units, and fasting sugar is lower then day before. Is this simple? Does not it looks like Mystery, sort of? List a few days ago I took 610 units, two pens for 305 units each. Today it is only one, only 305 units.
I can say, the same way with sugar rising. When sugar getting up I increase dose of insulin in very fast way, just to keep sugar down in line. This was how dose of insulin ride up to 610 units withing very short period of time. The greatest Mystery was that I did not have any differences in my life. I was not ill, nether I started to eat too much compare with time when I injected just 305 units. The matter of fact, sugar really was getting better under control. Why dose of insulin raided up? I do not know. It is Mystery for me.All what I can say about insulin today that Insulin is not just hormone which convert sugar into energy. Insulin is doing greater job. We just do not know how it is working. Sad story, no one med pro interested to find out Insulin's Mystery. All Med Pro see diabetics only as fatty obese, people who reject to live healthy. So, what do we prefer? Jump on one leg? Be blind? Pain in nerve that it is not possible to take any move, even breath is painful. Really?
