How many insulin units do you prick?

Hello!

I wanted to know how many units you click to compare a little, I am new in this, but I imagine that each person is different.

I am Type 1 diabetic, and I punctuate the fast with the three meals 6U-8U-8U- and the slow in the morning 24U.

And another question, clicking a lot of insulin does other damage to you?Is it bad?

Thank you so much.

Because that is almost my daughter's pattern. Look my signature.
The amount of insulin varies for each person. The adequate dose is the one that maintains good control, and sometimes it has to vary it to adjust it to the glycemia.
Greetings!

30 slowly in the morning and vary Joves from meals.In general 2 or 4 fast.As they say, the valid amount is what controls your glycemia.

Hello AFAFITA2 !!I carry with diabetes 3 years ago and it varies the thing, now I put 20 slowly at night and 5-10-9 more or less is that it is according to what you eat, I started with honeymoon and put me very little,And little by little I have been adjusting it.
Greetings!!

Hello!
I take from the 80s with diabetes (do not imagine so old, that I see you) and I put 18 of Lantus at night, 5 at breakfast, 8 at food and 5 at Humalog's dinner.All this compensates with a minimum hour of exercise 4 days a week.

The need for insulin varies by many factors, I notice that in summer I need less insulin than in winter.

I get 20 slowly at night and 5 at breakfast, 8 at food and 5 at dinner.It all depends on what you eat.

I use Lantus at night, 24 units, and the rapid according to what, but as a general guideline is 8-10-8 (breakfast-cena).

What is the difference between traditional insulin and what they call analog insulin, is the latter effective

The difference is that it is faster, it acts before, it starts at 15 minutes and it also ends before, it has an action of 2 hours and at 4 it is over

I 10 from Basal and about 15 divided in Bolus.With breastfeeding he needed less.During the last month of pregnancy 160 units days ... you have to adapt to each moment

I have debuted for 3 years and I am with 8 of Lantus only, and quickly one timely day that as rice, pasta .. or more than the account.I exercise every day to compensate .. and the reservation, because it is exhausted little by little.

It depends on what you eat, on the time of day and honeymoon.
I get a 3 in the morning and 6 at night, the fast according to coma, the usual 3 breakfast, 1 lunch, 2 food, nothing in snack and go for a walk and 2 dinner.
Before I did not get quickly if I was not above 140 at meals but since the endo has dropped to me from 160 to 120 when it started eating and that with the free I see my curve ... well that ....

I debut 4 years ago, usually when debuts put a diet with a certain amount of hydrates at each meal, so you can learn them, and based on that they put some more or less fixed doses of insulin.When you have been doing this for a while, you will know if the doses they recommended are correct or you have to upload them or lower them.That is to say if you eat 40 grams of bread will have approx 20gr of carbohydrates, for me for example the dose for every 2 portions of hydrates that it is like a fast insulin unit, and as here they tell you for each body is different, so you have to make an error with insulin eating the same amounts of carbohydrates in each meal, for example, 40gr breakfcome to you.At first it seems complicated but you immediately take the trick.Greetings and luck.

Well, I cannot contribute much more than what has been said here, I can only point out that not always 2+2 = 4, the amount of insulin goes in relation to how your body assimilates, what you eat, the exercise you do and your daily routine.Not every day doing, eating and putting the same insulin you will be the same, there are factors that vary our glycemia without apparent explanation.One day an exercise goes up and another the same exercise goes down.In my case I have just released the insulin Tresiba, 25 units in the afternoon, quickly I continue with my dear Humalog with 12-8-4, but of course they are orientative, since as life I only have my work and the sport in which there aredays I do tomorrow and afternoon, or double in the afternoon, etc. so it is a continuous correction with insulin and food.

Does anyone get 44 units of Lantus?My mother goes up according to the doctor, but she already puts 44 of Lantus in the morning and wakes up with 190 yet.It also gets quickly before the food.

Yes it does not get fast, the dose of Lantus is larger.The duration of Lantus can be extended a bit if it is increasing, but it does not always reach 24 hours. The new insulins, such as Toujeo, are of longer duration.

I put 24 insulin units NPH (intermediate action) in the morning, an hour before breakfast and 3 units at night, at dinner time.Once a day takes Januvia (Sitagliptin).

He is almost always as a clock, it is lowered as soon as he delayed with meals or eats something with low glycemic index.Dawn in ranges of 76-110 on an empty stomach.

Good, I put 9 of threeiba at 10pm and then by general rule 2-2-1-3 of Novorapid, varying at food or dinner 1 more unit depending on the hydrates I consume, my last Hemo was 5.8.
Greetings 😉

I get 10 slow at 11 p.m.

Excuse the Santa83 question that in summer uses less insulin than in winter, why do I use less? I ask later I live in Venezuela and here there is no winter when it rains very often from times we call it winter sometimes in November or December lowThe temperature at 18 and we are frozen because we normally state in 24 ° or 26 ° this year we have been in 30 ° and is unbearable.Thanks for your attending my question, thanks Alfredo from Venezuela.
