| Wait...... you weigh 112 pounds and your TDD is 90 units????? That's more than twice what mine is, and I weigh 33 pounds more and consume a lot of carbs. If your basal insulin is set too high, you can expect to go hypo periodically through the day and have to snack, then go low at night, sleep through it, and rebound so that you wake up with jacked up sugars. If you're on steroids, I can maybe see 90 units a day, but otherwise I can't. I agree with the pump suggestion if you're that whacked out about needles, because there's no way you can have good control using a basal/Humalog mix. Plus, it gives you zero flexibility. If you can't get a pump, for whatever reason, there are insulin ports which you can wear for the same number of days as an infusion set. |
