I'm curious (nosey?)
How much insulin (short acting) do you use on average per day?
I was on about 6u per day (basal was 10u per day once a day, mornings)
A few months on am about 15u per day (this has been the case for the past 3 weeks now). I've basically doubled the dose to cover the same amount of carb per meal. (basal 14u per day once a day, mornings).
I'm now trying to eat a lunch that gives me a break from the short acting insulin because there are times I feel odd even though sugars have been good all day but from another post 'LADA the early days' other LADA types seem to get odd sensations too even though sugars are in check.
I have always wondered why, when LADA is meant to progress gradually, mine seems to be coming on rather quickly?
