[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1340422, member: 32394"] Very small children (babies) and people unable to respond might be treated with insulin according to weight in hospital. But as soon as they're out of hospital dosage will be changed to what works for them. There are tables that show average total daily dose by weight, by they are just guidelines. Like [USER=39639]@azure[/USER] i can't see how water retention impacts on insulin absorption. Lipohypertrophy is a more likely issue to be excluded - do you have any lumps and bumps from injecting! Do you rotate injection sites? Also wher on your body you are injecting impacts on the time it takes for the insulin to be active. If you inject down at your foot (ooof don't) blood is going to have too carry insulin all the way up and around your body. Having high BG doesn't necassarily indicate insulin isn't being absorbed. It might mean your dose isn't right for you, maybe have a chat with your DSN about adjusting doses. [/QUOTE]
