Treatment with insulin has two main value. At first, with right insulin therapy at right time diabetes type 2 may be cured. This means that many Med. Pro, who today educate diabetics how to eat, or MD who know only how to Rx SU and Metformin, would lose the job. Second, is high complication of treatment with insulin. If there is too much insulin then low sugar and coma may follow. If there is too little insulin then slow death is follow. Most important, there is no any formula how to find right dose of insulin right for every injection.
This is why it is important to detect diabetes type 2 as soon as it is possible, and start Insulin Therapy right away. When sugar is not high, then dose of insulin is low, so there is no low drop in glucose level. When sugar is too high then every insulin shot is stress. After insulin shot sugar drops and then higher level of sugar then lower it is dropping after insulin shot. With moderate level of sugar diabetic type 2 adapts slow, and easy to find the way to use insulin the best unique way.
Insulin may be started with lowest dose, just 10 units a day. Even non diabetic can inject this dose safely. Then slow rise the dose. Better to take two injections to spread insulin dose in two parts. Usually it is recommended to take two different types of insulin: long acting slow release type of insulin to cover base needs, and rapid acting insulin which works only two or one hour and used to be taken with meals. My personal way is only one type of insulin, slow release Insulin.
Slow release insulin will work in both ways, to cover meal, and to cover base needs for glycogen which released by liver between meals. ( I usually miss glycogen and glucagon, sorry I am not med pro and all this is only my own experience, no medical advice).
As I see from my experience when I take insulin shot before meal, it start to work right away. I even use insulin when sugar is low. It is odd, not as it is usually recommended. The point is, when there is no insulin then we are hungry, extremely hungry, and eat more then we need. Cell is hungry, demand nutrition, but there is no insulin and nutrition cannot be used. Satisfaction come too late and very slow. In contrary with insulin shot even when sugar is low, there is no hunger. All going smooth, right as it is needed.
I never was told to take shot of insulin in case of low sugar. I just started it, and it worked for me perfectly. But really it is too scared to take insulin shot when sugar is already low. This is why I take very low dose, just to speed process of food utilization. With time I got used it and be comfortable. Also with time low sugar is not so devastating low as it is 38 mg/dl. I do not remember when last time I had so low sugar, even now I take highest dose of insulin, around 500 units daily. As I see from my experience, it is not dose of insulin which leads to devastating low sugar, but the condition diabetic is. Low sugar as low as 38mg/dl and in this situation I was not able to eat by myself, might be with insulin dose 100 units, or even 60 units, but no low sugar with 800 units.
This is greatest paradox in Insulin Therapy.
