Need table for insulin dose versus blood sugar?

Question

To adjust the dose of insulin based on blood sugar level, need simple calculations / table

Answer 1

Sorry, no such thing.
The problem is that people differ. by height, weight, activity and metabolic rate
So using any "calculator" while in insulin therapy just might get you killed (too low glucose, once). Or blind (too high glucose, too often)
Best choice is to start with ultra rapid acting insulin and test blood sugar, and make notes.
OK, it means a dozen injections in a day, for maybe a month or so- but then you know how you react to therapy and know how long you can dance at a disco or play basketball before you need a snack.
Also works the other way- how much insulin to take after that birthday cake...

The biggest danger is too much slow acting insulin (8-12 hours before it starts acting) and forgetting to eat. Keep some glucose tablets, or a chocolate bar, or a bottle of standard (NOT diet) Coke - or all three - handy

Answer 3

Dosing varies people to person depending on the amount of insulin produced by pancreas.You need to be monitored initially by MD, and get initial serum testing. Dont mess around hypoglycemia can be deadly, blood glucose < 60 is critcal.

I think you should read this first: http://care.diabetesjournals.org/cgi/content/full/24/11/2011-a

Then you should consult a qualified endocrinologist who specializes in treating insulin dependent diabetics.

The reason is, there's no "simple" table. There are too many things to consider... like your weight, how much and what types of foods you're eating, etc.

Answer 5

you need to get your sliding scale from your endocrinologist. They are the only ones whom can do this for you. It is based on your journaled blood sugars. Don't try to do it yourself. There are too many different doses for different days, sick time, etc.

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.

Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.
