dosage

Hello all, I have been hovering in the background since last year when our son was diagnosed with T1 but would really appreciate some advice from all of you with the years of experience I don't have. Since diagnosis our sons basal insulin has reduced from 14 units down to 6 units and bolus is...

Hey everyone, I've been a type 1 diabetic for 12 years soon, where I have been through both pump and pen therapy. I have a preference for pen, thus using those. In general, I do not have an issue, but I have a hard time figuring out how to ideally set up my basal insulin. I am very active...

How have your dosages changed since going on Keto? My meal dosages have come down from say 8u to say 5u. Which is about what I expected. But my Levemir needs have gone from 8 morning 8 evening, to 16 morning, 3 evening, which surprised me. Do other people have such high daytime basal needs?

I've been in ketosis for nearly three weeks (ketones over 1.5) and I'm not finding dosing to be as forgiving as I expected. My mealtimes NovoRapid doses are about 3 or 4 units but it seems that being too low by 1 unit can mean a drop of 5mmol/L and too high by 1 unit can mean a rise of 5mmol/L...

I've had diabetes for more than 25 years. I am always changing my eating habits, and take my insulin shortly before my meals in most instances, and always circulate my injection locations (short-term in stomach, long-term in butt). For the past few months my morning insulin doses have not been...

Hey guys, Sorry to bother you again with my struggles... Just wondering if anyone lived a similar situation. So since 3 days I have a drastic change in my body's response to insulin; I became MUCH more sensitive, my insulin apparently being 500% stronger?? I started having constantly big and...

Hello, i want to go to a gym(pilates sessions) but the times of sessions are very close to meals. So there is a big danger of strong hypos. How should i adjust the dosage? Is there any general rule for this situation? Thanks a lot.

Hello. I'm T1 and until last night had been taking 18 units of Levemir each evening. I was given Tresiba yesterday and advised to inject two units less. I went steadily up all night to 17.9 when my woke thirsty and groggy at 5am. Has anyone else made the switch, and if so, please could you give...

Hi guys, I just changed my insulin cartridge over (novo rapid pen, the non-disposable type) and did my insulin before expelling the air!!! Obviously the dose went in far quicker than usual and I think it means I've missed a good few units. Does anyone know how many units I probably missed? I...

Hey Folks, So, I was diagnosed last November with a A1C of 8.3. I am 5'6" and at that time, I was 186lbs. I immediately went on the defensive and went on the low carb high fat (lchf) diet after reading Dr. Bernstien's Diabetese solution book. Completely gave up on all grains except...

Hello, I have been diagnosed with T1 diabetes just over 3 years ago and at first was managing my levels OK. Recently I just cant seem to get them under control. I was originally told to take 1 unit of NovoRapid per 10g of carbs and use one unit to lower my sugar levels by 3 mmol I also take 15...
