Calculating Dose of Insulin. May 21, 2018

       As I posted before it is difficult to calculate dose of insulin. Now I can say, it is not possible to use math to calculate dose of insulin. Simple, it is not possible. What else is most important, regardless of so many explanation how pancreas work and what job insulin does, we still in deep darkness, diabetes really what is it? It is obvious diabetes is not level of sugar in blood, normal or abnormal. This number is in constant change, so at one moment it can be normal, and the next time it is very abnormal. Just take into consideration, we do have high blood sugar, take Insulin shot, and sugar dropped down to low sugar. Was the moment when sugar was normal? Of cause, no doubt in that. But was it really normal sugar, or it was just continues way of abnormality? 
       Is there some way to find, what is diabetes? I am not scholar. I am not looking to study theory. What I do study, the practice. Because of there is not possible to create formula how to calculate dose of insulin, and I have to inject Insulin a few times every day, so I have to know what dose to inject, I use my observation skills.
     70 mg/dl fasting sugar today. Is the dose of Insulin I have to inject today the same as it was Yesterday? No. Yesterday it was 160 units, only one shot. I went to bed so early that I forgot to take second shot, and I was in deep sleep so there were no third shot. Only one shot for full day, 160 units. Day before Yesterday it was 460 units, and next morning fasting sugar was 88 mg/dl. Do your math, if you can. I cannot.  I have to inject today Insulin I skipped Yesterday.
      Honesty to say, I do not feel bad today, and there is no elevated sugar. All seems regular, as usual. I wish I can keep things in this way.
