Sugar is 175 mg/dl, fasting.
It is too high. Last week, full week insulin dose was only 307 units, the amount of insulin in one pen. Sugar started to rise right after first day on decreased dose of insulin. Usually I take three pens withing two days. So, sugar was under control, as I hoped. It is fife, and very often our plans cannot be followed. We had tickets to The Met. If I took shot before I go to opera sugar will drop low, and I would be in Metropolitan Opera House. Usually we do not go out in intermission. Our seats on the Family Circle. It is difficult for me to walk down and then up. When we returned home I took shot.
Then there was use of Compression Pump System. I felt sick, and still sleep after system done the job. So, another day it was only two shots, 307 units, one pen. So, for every day dose of insulin was decreased there is some reason. After all reasons sugar in blood go up. Just one week, and sugar is out of control. Also I can say, it is not the case I did not take insulin, I did. Just in stead to inject 480 units I injected only 307 units. Sugar started to rise. This is the reason I do not go to ER or hospital for any reason. At first all the time when I am in hospital insulin treatment stopped, and replaced it with Metformin and diuretics. just one night in hospital rise my blood sugar level over 400 mg/dl. There is no one treatment will work if sugar is high. Then longer I would stay then more difficult for me to leave hospital alive. So, I try very hard do avoid any visits to the professional treatment.
It is all the time presented that health plans resist to pay for insulin, and diabetics cannot afford to pay co-pays for insulin. It is presented that there is our choice of medicine, insulin or metformin. It is even presented that diabetics so stupid, afraid to inject insulin because of it is injection and they afraid needles. There are a lot of lie about diabetics type 2. We live with it. No resistance, no fight.
Now, let us take a look how dose of insulin determined by doctors.
Weight (lbs) / 4. So if my weight is 400 pounds then dose of insulin must be 100 units a day. As I just said, with 300 units my sugar is 175 mg/dl fasting. This is only one week of reduced dose of insulin. Would I be able to keep blood sugar under control with 100 units of insulin daily? No. It is also very often presented the sensitivity to insulin, how many units of insulin must one to inject according to the diet, X calorie consumption. With this accounting dose of insulin never will be correct. Why? We do not know how insulin used in our body system. Really, where insulin go when we inject 720 units? over 1000 units? 720 units was highest dose of insulin I injected. Then dose dropped and not it is about 500 units daily. Some day a little bit less, other day is a little bit higher.
We do not know where injected insulin going and how it is used by our system. We do not know what are the limit in dose of insulin injection. All what we can do just going, and try to keep our numbers in healthy range. Regarding of what dose of insulin we need to inject, just do it. Probably with time the nature of diabetes would be opened and diagnose of diabetes would be made not according to the level of sugar in blood but according to damage of beta cells and pancreas. Today all what is possible, just accept that diabetes has not types such as type 1 or type 2, but stages. Then less damage to insulin secreting tissue or organ then lower stage of diabetes, And highest stage is when damage no longer reversible. It is presented that diabetes type 2 can be reversed with diet, starvation. It is not. No one diet will reverse damage of beta cells and fibrosis of pancreas. Insulin can prevent that damage, and reverse it if stage of diabetes development is not fatal.
