I have type 2 Diabetes Insulin dependent and have suffered for 14 Years.
For a very long time now my treatment in respect of Insulin is as follows;
Novarapid 3 times a day - 34 Units each time Breakfast Lunch and Dinner
Lantus 100 Units/ml - 108 Units of an evening each day.
My Doctor after some changes in my levels (high) has changed my Insulin to Toujour but 300Units/ml
She instructed I attend my nurse to discuss quantities.
I attended yesterday and the nurse advised that my actual dosage should stay the same at 108 Units of the new insulin EVEN THOUGH it is 300 Units/ml .
This confuses me surely the insulin is stronger ? How can the doseage be the same. The Nurse is checkign but I am a little concerned. Any ideas please.
Thanks
Mark
