Hello debsabo,
As you may know we're not physicians here, but we are experienced diabetics. We volunteers are most experienced with Type 1 diabetes, and altho' there are some similarities with Type 2 we do have quite a different disease.
Here is the mechanism that makes us so vulnerable to severe hypos when we've been drinking.
Certainly many of the medical establishment do not test for Reverse T3, and do not know how to treat. Those that do generally seem to agree that a good ratio would be, in your units of measure, a ratio of .018 or higher. There is some good info about this in page two of this link.

High doses of vitamin D can cause of magnesium deficiency as the body uses magnesium to convert vitamin D to active vitamin D. If you are eating a diet high in magnesium you won't have issues. If you aren't...well hello magnesium deficiency symptoms. :) This can be anything from muscle twitches to constipation...the list of magnesium deficiency symptoms is ridiculously long.
The carb/bolus ration determines how much insulin you get per carb. Your basal rate is what your body needs 24 hours a day to keep your blood glucose in line. From what you describe, it seems to me you need to adjust your basal rates. Are you using a pump? That is the best way to make this happen. When you get to the amounts of insulin you are using, it is just too difficult to manage with injections alone. I resisted going on the pump, but it has been a godsend.
You need to know the grams of 1 mole of the molecule you pretend to convert (that it's written somewhere). I can try to find in my books (not a promisse).
I had my blood work done about a month ago and now have received a copy some of the results have me concerned
first is the ESR which is 42mm
Anion Gap 2meq
Fasting Glucose 107
Total Billrubin 1.33mg
ALT 21U/L
TSH 2.46
Free T4 .
If your blood sugar is so high, it means your insulin dose is too low. YOu need to increase your insulin dose. The standard way is to increase it by 2 units every 2 - 3 days until your target levels are reached. Of course better if you have medical / dr. supervision.
Low carb diet, weight normalization, and daily exercise will also help reduce how much insulin you need and help in getting your blood sugars lower.

Preprandial = before meal
Postprandial = after meal
mmol/l mg/dl Interpretation
------ ----- --------------
2.0 35 Extremely low, danger of unconciousness
3.0 55 Low, marginal insulin reaction, you need to eat something
4.0 72 Slightly low, first symptoms of lethargy, etc.

I had my kitty in to see the Vet yesterday for a glucose/blood test after being on one week of 2 units insulin to see her progress. Her glucose was 126 ,which is good as her initial glucose was 421. Unfortunately, I did not get to see my Vet, as he was tied up in surgery, so the only contact I had was with a different Vet Tech asking a couple questions about the time of her last meal and last shot; she was then taken into another room while I waited outside.
4 log iu wondering if anyone knows how to convert this to a viral load I can understand?
Three hours before I run, I reduce my basal rate to .15 units/hour, and my blood glucose levels are usually the EXACT same when I am finished. My blood sugar is not high before starting either. It seems like the three hour mark is right when my BG starts to go up, but by starting my run at that time, it doesn't have time to go up very much. Having the pump connected to you can be a pain in the neck ,but they are totally worth it...seriously..especially for runners.
You are going to need to do basal testing to work out how much basal insulin you need. You will also need to bolus testing to work out your carb: insulin ratio. You can find information on this testing online. Also recommend the books: Using Insulin (John Walsh) and "Think Like a Pancreas'.
Please do work out how to have good control. Such high blood sugars put you at risk of complications sooner than later.
B12 complex given. Glucose down to 144, pee a lot that night. Friday , Milo refused to walk far, started to notice weakness to his back legs. Went back for another session of Fluid Therapy at 30 ml per hour. Glucose less than 160, no insulin given. Back legs still weak, and still refusing to eat but able to consume almost 60 cc of shakes and 30 cc of smoothies using syringes to feed. Saturday morning, he just want to sleep, checked his sugar, 644 and vet gave 2 units.
