[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2675744, member: 372717"] In my opinion your hospital team have neglected you. In my opinion they should have given you a correction ratio eg 1 unit of insulin brings you down by 3mmol/L That would mean that you'd take 5 units to bring you down by 15mmol/L but I stress that people's ratios vary drastically - I'd probably need 10 units to get down from that level and I have no idea what the right dose is for you. Plus if an energy drink has eg 44g (just looked up powerade sports drink at my local supermarket) you'd need to inject insulin for it when you drank it. I'd need 11 units in the evening for a drink like that or 15 units at lunch time (my carb ratios vary by time of day) but you could need anything from 0 (if your pancreas is producing enough insulin to cope) to much more than me. (Though a typical starting ratio for carb dosing is 1 unit to 10g so that would be 4 units.) Disclaimer : insulin ratios vary massively from person to person (some people use 20 units a day, others more than 200 so don't use any of my figures above, they are examples of the math reasoning only. Are you able to keep any sort of record of food intake (particularly carbs if you can work them out, most prepackaged food lists them) and insulin and blood sugars? Bear in mind that lyumjev 's peak action is between 1 to 3 hours after taking it, so you need to be aware that previous doses of insu;in may not have finished working in your system when you inject a new one...
