- Diabetes :p
I have a few diabetic friends in real life, and we're all around the same age, weight etc.
Diagnosed all within a year or two of each other.
Most of them are on say, 8 or 9 units of fast acting novorapid.
However, when we go out for a meal together, they'd take 10 and i'm taking around 20-25 units and still being around 9-12mmol.
Why is it I would take such a high level of insulin to get my bloods down in comparison to them?
Even the doctors didn't answer me on this one.
One reply was "maybe their pancreases work a little bit, whereas your doesn't".
Whatttt...
Any ideas?
