Do that make any sense?? |
That calculation works pretty well for me. It's only 1 unit off or so, but its about there.
I would also agree that you need the fast-acting insulin. That's really what brings you down to where you are supposed to be. Lantus certainly wouldn't do it for me- especially when I first started insulin therapy. Also, even when I did use Humalog (fast-acting) when I began shots, my BG stayed very high for a long time. It took me a WHILE to get good readings- as in a couple of months. (This was the time I was learning how Humalog worked and how carb-counting happens.) I would contact your doctor about taking insulin at meal times. Good luck, and let us know your progress.
