I then had a much better appointment with a nurse where she went through everything. The insulin doesn’t seem to be working at all. I have been prescribed humulin I. I took 6 units for a week, 10 units the next and am now up to 16 units.  I take it around 30 mins before I eat my evening meal. I was hospitalised last week as the sugar levels were so high. They pumped me full of insulin, had a total of 300 units but they couldn’t get it down much-12 was the lowest. I saw an endocrinologist who said the insulin hadn’t worked as I was very insulin resistant. He also wants to investigate Cushing syndrome. What insulin have you been prescribed?</p></blockquote><p></p>
