I can't believe some of you take such small amounts, haaa I take 52units of Lantus at night. |
Nicole, do you exercise much? Taking a lot of exercise increases my insulin sensitivity to the extent that the amount of insulin I need is about half what it is where im not doing much. I recently had a Sports Clinic appointment and discussed my levels of insulin; apparently 10 units basal is quite normal for a type 1 of my height, weight and build(5 feet 5, about 140 pounds, muscly), whilst those with type 2 and significant insulin resistance can need massive amounts of insulin.....you dont look like a very big person and im surprised by how much you take, maybe you have quite a bit of insulin resistance or something? Maybe you could talk to your doctor about it and they might have some ideas?
