What if he has so little insulin that the bg is just hanging around without being used? Then ketosis kicks in anyway no? That's how one gets dka isn't it?

Just wanted to post a picture to have a change.

Thanks Kristin.

Hahahaha. You remembered.

And 1 unit of novorapid brings me down by 2.5

Yes. 1 unit of novorapid is 10 g of carbs for me.

Thanks a lot for the time spent on this thread, everyone. You've been very helpful!

I do know about the use of the 2 types of insulin etc etc. I just want to ask about the Maths. Does 1 unit of lantus and 1 unit of novorapid bring down the same amount of bg?

Here's to clarify: doc gave me 6 lantus and 15 novorapid a day. That was keeping my weight constant. However, I was quite uncomfortable at 6 L and gradually increased it to 10 L. I find that if I keep on eating enough to for 15 novorapid in total a day, my weight is increasing steadily...

Hmm. I had a high lantus dose before and it caused me to hypo middle of night so I think it does decrease bg. Also, keep it steady means it must also increase bg as well, I don't think it does that.

She knew it was hers the minute I finished it and put it on the floor. Added a little bell for fun.

Sorry let me rephrase my question again so I can get an answer I need. Everything being equal, in a controlled environment, over 24 hours, will 1 unit of lantus reduce the same amount of bg as 1 unit of novorapid albeit the rate being slower? Sorry the question may not seem logical, but the...

So I was on 6 units of lantus and 15 units of novorapid. Altogether I get to eat 150 grams of carbs. I feel more comfortable (more in range) actually with 10 units of lantus. Wondering if I still do 150g of carbs with 15 units of novorapid or 11 units of novorapid with 150g of carbs. Or 10...

Wondering if 1 unit of lantus bring down the same amount of bg as 1 unit of novorapid. I know the acting time is different but I'm wondering if I switch to snacking more throughout the day I can substitute 1 unit of novorapid with 1 unit of lantus.

Indeed! And inspirational. But how did you find out then?

Same. I was Travelling all over the world esp 3rd world countries and was home for a week before flying off when it happened. So lucky I was home.

Funny game I play with my brain: when I read slowly and in detail about DKA, I start crying. It's funny. I am guessing my subconscious mind, the part that controls bodily functions, was traumatised by my DKA and when I recall the episode, it gets scared. Heeheehee. Wonder how many people...
