Hi guys.
First thing is I control my blood sugars quite tight. I do occasionally eat sugars but I compensate this by taking high levels of fast acting insulin.
On a day by day basis I typically take 50 units of rapidinsulin and 34 units of levirmir. My rapid acting (fiasp) I can take upto 25 units at a meal if I'm eating say 60g of carbs. I seem to be really resistant to insulin. I read these fantasies about people taking 1 unit of insulin per 10g of carbs! Whereas I need something like 1 unit per 3g of carbs.
I mean this morning I had approx 35g of carbs and around 40g of protein I had to take approx 20 units of fiasp over the next 4 hours to keep my blood sugars to a good level.
My main concern is if I do need these same levels of insulin 200 units isn't going to be nearly enough and I'll be running out before the 3 days is up. Can I top my pump up with more insulin if this is the case?
Thanks,
Adam
