Ooo just saw this comment . I have a novo rapid pen aswell mine does not go up in 1/2 units .That's right, I have a NovoRapid pen, which is great for me, as that 1/2 unit is a so much better. Breakfast was the worse, I unit not enough, 2 units far to much. I couldn't do with it now
Yea I so appear to have become quite sensitive to insulin. There are times (many) when I could do with less than 0.5 or more but not as much as 1? I'm having to add carbs to round up. Or go low, I'm hypo loads at the moment so thought smaller amounts may help. Thanks x
My dsn is not very er...helpful? She didn't even want me to carb count and she will just say I'm not eating enough carbs and that I need to eat lots more. My carb count dsn is much better but can't prescribe anything. Maybe I'll e-mail her.
I've lost a lot of weight and am taking about 1/3 1/4 of the insulin I was a year ago typically 3,1,2 of bolus and 9 and 5 of basal. Last year it was 8,6,16 and 24 basal. Could this be why? Also the heat?
Thanks guys x
I eat somewhere between 50-80g carbs a day.
Yep, 15 units of Lantus altogether. 9 at 8 am and 5 at 8pm.
I have no idea what tests they did to confirm my diagnosis.
I remember them taking blood gases from my wrist and lots of blood tests and that my blood was in the 30's. My brother had been diagnosed 8 months before so they took no chances.
