Insulin Usage

Not sure what I did, but had a “break through” today. My insulin usage is under 40 with very little effort and under 140 after each meal. Of course, that helps — no corrections.

Right now my average TDD is about 42. I know I will lose weight if I can get it in the 30s without driving up my over all blood sugar. That just makes me ravenous all day.

    Glad to hear the TDD is down. I think you and I are the only ones that track this. A perfect day is when the bG’s are near normal and my TDD <40. Fortunately, I don’t have many issues w/hunger, don’t really know why.
    And Howard, I don’t think long term insulin use kills libido, at least I haven’t read anything about it or experienced it. Don’t know about combined w/other meds. I think aging (unfortunately) has as much to do w/it as anything.

    I am trying to find out more about the usage of Humalog Mix 75/25. I can dial up to 60 units which is the maximum dosage on the pen but can I take another dose if my sugar is very high?
