[QUOTE="Fairygodmother, post: 2087983, member: 68789"] The human body’s pretty complex. It’s not just insulin that’s involved in ensuring there’s enough energy for cells to function and the various processes involved may, or may not, also be a factor in our many differences. [URL]https://opentextbc.ca/anatomyandphysiology/chapter/17-9-the-endocrine-pancreas/[/URL] I’ve had T1 for nearly 50 years, currently use 18 units of basal (Levemir), which changes according to the weather and how long the stuff’s been in the on, and from 10 to 20 units of Fiasp per day, which varies due to carbs eaten, exercise, any stress, no stress, foot on the floor, etc etc. Unlike [USER=503998]@Knikki[/USER] I was diagnosed when I as 20 and the profile can be different depending on age of diagnosis, or even the number of turncoats in the immune system.
