some background--
i used to use novorapid and toujeo insulins
but was so hungry i gained alot of weight
so i requested a different insulin
and was given novolin premixed
i lost the horrible hunger
but it required me to eat when i wasnt hungry
so im back on the novorapid and toujeo
now that im back on them again
my hungers increased and it makes me
irritable
sometimes i give in to the hunger it causes
but im going to end up gaining weight again
in addition to that
i seem very insulin resistent
and the dose is just climbing again
i was using 160 units of toujeo and 120 units of novorapid
a day
i was started on 45 toujeo and 60 novorapid
im already up to 66 and idk even know how much
novo rapid as it varies with how many carbs i eat
but id venture a guess its maybe 90 units
and im not near any kind of goal yet
set by the dr nor was i before on the higher doses
i dont want to get stuck in this circle again
like i was last time
use insulin get hungry eat more gain weight need more insulin
get more hungry gain more weight use more insulin
i dont want stuck in it again
i had heard that low carb helped hunger
im unable to do that to try that
as i can only buy cheap carby foods
due to finances
im unable to get any exercise due to other health issues
i tried several oral meds. before insulin
and experienced many side effects one leading me to an er
what can i do?
is my only option to stop insulin to just have high blood sugar
and hope for no complications?
