@Velia, I have found that formula in several Internet pages (almost all of them say the same) for all people in general.
More or less coincides with what my 13-year-old son takes and about 50kg of weight that takes 5-2-8-2-7hc (24 in total) according to endocrine indications (when he debuted two years ago, with about 40kg, he took4-2-6-2-5HC).Obviously, it is in growth phase but, from what I see, its dishes are rather scarce.A 5HC rice dish is really little rice, for example.I am sure that he would take double without problems.Or a dinner at the Hollywood or Vips, medium hamburger are already 5 long rations, without counting potatoes or dessert.
But as you say, it depends on each one and its activity.I think it is a fairly normal figure.
@hades40, you are not telling the rations of hydrates well:
- Breakfast: 20g of bread and 200ml milk: 2 rations
- mid -morning: half apple, depending on the size, 1 ration or more
- Food: you only take 1 bread.I don't know how you don't starve, heh, heh ..
- Snack: Navigated yogurt 1 ration if it is without sugar, 1.5 to 2 if it is sugary.
- Dinner: A slice of bread is half ration.With the zucchini cream you may reach 1 ration.
Total a day: 2-1-1-1 = 6 rations of HC
We have not been told that we have fats as a ration.Yes, we take them into account because they slow the absorption of hydrates.
The insulin guidelines of my son, right now, are 17+18 of slow insulin (tomorrow and night) and fast novorapid 8-0-9-3-11 in meals, in case it serves as a reference.Last hemo 6.2 (a champion!).
As you have told you, I think you have to get the slow.The fast is only to compensate for the intakes of hydrates, which in your case are rather few.You are compensating for the lack of slow to click many times fast.That is not normal.In addition, doing so prevents you from seeing how your body metabolizes hydrates and how many fast insulin units you need depending on the hydrates you eat.And you don't have to make such a strict diet if you don't want to.Hydrates you eat, fast insulin you wear.
When you are in more normal values, insulin needs will go down.I explain myself: to download a 200 to 120, it may need 3 rapid insulin units.But to download from 130 to 80, with a unit it is enough.
It is the analogy of "traffic jam": if there are many cars, it costs more circular.The same thing happens with insulin: if there is a lot of sugar, insulin costs it more circular and doing its function.
Much encouragement.I am your age and imagine what you are happening.
