[QUOTE="Mad76, post: 2278338, member: 505154"] Hi all, Brief background Diagnosed last year April type 1. Hbac1 very high. 113. Put on to lantus and novorapid Was told to adjust novorapid according to what I ate. So used around 12 units per day total 5 months later met consultant at hospital. Hbac1 down to 48. This I think was mainly because I was so scared of DKA again I really restricted what I ate.. so at this appointment the consultant basically said I can eat what ever I want when ever I want as long as I took the right amount of novorapid each time. Now for me this was great. I love food, and eat my fair share of carbs. So as u can imagine I pretty much went back to eating what I want. My novorapid intake has increased a lot. I'm now on around 25 units total per day. My question is Is there anything wrong with taking increased amounts of insulin. ? Is this a concern going from 12 or day to 25 ish in a year. Assuming my bg levels are controlled by using the right amount of insulin is there any reason not to do this ??? I'd be really interested in you guys thoughts on this. Thanks [/QUOTE]
