My bottle of Humolag has 10ml--which means there are 500 units of insulin in the bottle. 1ml=100 units of insulin. This is written on the bottle, maybe if you take a good look at the bottle it could help. I am a little unclear as to why you don't know amount of insulin per day, so I am not sure if I answered your question.
The amount of humalog you take is suppose to match the amount of carbohydrates you eat. if you take 20 IU of Humalog you need to eat the SAME amount of carbohydrates at each meal, else your BG will jump all over.
Humalog lowers BG
carbohydrates raise BG
the two need to ballance.
ask your MD to work out an insulin /carb ratio for you to adj the insulin to match what your eating.
The studies linking vinyl chloride with cancer (particularly, liver angiosarcoma), pertains to vinyl chloride MONOMER, which is the ingredient of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), the material used in shower curtains. PVC itself as a finished product seems to be inert and has not been implicated as a carcinogen. Unless you decide to burn your shower curtains (thereby releasing fumes of vinyl chloride monomers), I don't think that you're at an increased risk for developing cancer.
I have a type 1 diabetic daughter she is 7 yrs old and we count carbs. She gets so many units of insulin for how many carbs she eats plus so many units for how much her numbers are above what the doc wants. That doc sounded like a real jerk. My grandma is a type 2 diabetic as well and has many problems with high numbers and we just found out that she is in begining stages of kidney failure. So its deffinantly important not to give up.
I am assuming you know his carbohydrate to insulin ratio, meaning for every 10-17 carbohydrates a person eats then one unit of insulin is given. I give a range because every person is a little different in how many units of insulin they give for a certain number of carbohydrates. I usually take 1 unit for every 12 grams of carbs--but that is just my body.
Next, knowing the amount of carbohydrates in certain foods will help too.
I take my bolld sugars of a morning fasting and they are like 167-191, I take 1000 mg of janumet and 18 units of lantus before bed, of a morning I take 20 Units of lantus, 45 mg actos why am I having problems regulating my blood sugars, I also take 7 units of novalog after every meal??? Do you have any other sugustions??
It breaks down what i eat into nutrition value. From there i can track my calories and carbohydrates. Both apps are linked to the health app of my iphone. But i physically type in the carbs value into sugar sense using the grams units.
t work, so now he is on Novolog. (20 units before breakfast and 20 units before dinner). (Is this a high dose?) He has had a number of low readings, sometimes as low as 35. Normally he can feel it coming on and has juice or soda and he's fine. The problem is a couple of times it hit so fast that as he is getting something to drink he passes out. I am new too all this and it's very scary when it happens.
The reason to dilute U-100 insulin, where 1cc=100 units is to create a U50 or U20 insulin where 1cc has 50 or 20 diluted units. Again, having a diluted insulin can make it easier to measure out 1/4 or 1/2 units at a time. There is considerable training to safely diluting and safely using diluted insulin, but it can be a great tool if your endo wants you work with fractional units.
Low Amylase Levels in Blood
Low level of amylase in the body is mostly resulted due to consumption of high amounts of carbohydrates. This is the case with amylase deficiency in people with fat intolerance. As mentioned earlier, amylase catalyzes starch and complex carbohydrates. So, the higher the amount of these nutrients in the body, the more is the requirement of amylase.
drop the glilmapride 2x a day FORCES the pancreas to make insulin
and can be unpredictable in its effectiveness since it MAKE the pancreas work extra hard, some times it does some times it dont
dont know about the Januvia
Keep the 20units of lantus
*also those drugs lower high BG , eating less carbohydrates will produce less BG. ALL carbs are turned into BG.
No I have not had that experience with Humalog-in fact it works very well for me. I use a sliding scale of Humalog at mealtimes and I use 14 units of Lantis each evening. Lantis is a 24 cylce insulin or a long acting insulin where Humalog is short term or short acting insulin. But this just shows you that different people have different needs. Before I used Lantis I used to use NPH-which is a shorter long acting inuslin-more like 8 hours. Have you tried giving your Novolin before you eat?
Sugar and salt can also increase the excretion of both calcium and oxalate in the urine, since you seem to form kidney stones, you should limit, or try completely eliminate, sugar and refined carbohydrates from your diet, and cut back a on salt. limiting your intake of meat, sugar, salt, and fruit juice. Try increasing dietary fiber, and include 10,000 units of vitamin A, 300 milligrams of magnesium citrate, and 100 milligrams of vitamin B6 every day.
What a diabetic needs to understand about food is that to accurately count the carbohydrates in the food is essential. If you need help figuring out carbs, Calorie King has an excellent book which lists carbs for most foods and restaurants.

I know our readings are different in canada , 5 to 7 is normal.I have had sugars as high as 32 and used 10 units of humalog , half an hour later I am 34 , I don't understand this ? What is the ratio of humalog to carbs ? I had the flu and I know it can really mess up your sugars , but this was a month ago .Also , I generally feel better when my sugars are around 13 , anything below that and I feel the efects of hyperglycemea , I know that does,t make sense , but it is how I feel.
Some months ago, I started a specialized diet; it contains relatively few carbohydrates, and my persistent heartburn went away. I didn't think much of it until I discovered the writings of Dr.
So, try salmon and other anti-inflammatory foods - with salads, etc. Decrease carbohydrates. We measure our insulin on the basis of how many carbohydrates a food contains and the less the better - making a high protein diet very desirable from that perspective. If you lower your need to inject insulin, and keep on an even keel that way, and test about 7 times a day, and get up 3 times a night for a day or two to test, then you will be able to isolate your problem with the sugars.
