Hi guys,
For someone that was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes for 18 years, she wight 42kg and take a total of daily insulin 13 units ( 7 Lantus + 6 novorapid ), which means 0.3 insulin per kg of body wight.. she usually test 5 to 8 times and also have Freestyle libre and her BG most of the times is around 100. So now she read that total daily insulin must be 0.5 insulin per kg or more and she is afraid that it may developed a ketoacidosis because she only took 0.3 insulin per kg,
1. Is that a rule to follow? (0.5 per kg or more)
2. and does anyone took a little insulin does like her?
3. and is it good that her body need a little insulin or there is a problem with that?
