Sarah replied to Alessio Alex's discussion 'has anyone been using the same insulin dosage since the begging of T1DM'"interesting. my endo told me most of his type 1's, once stable and through honeymoon typically take about 15 - 20 units of basal on MDI's...guess he was correct."
"My TDD has remained quite steady since I have stopped growing. Through most of the 90's I took 45 units of basal NPH. my pump now has a basal daily dose of 44.0 units. The big changes in my insulin needs were taking a desk job (less exercise)…"
Eb replied to Alessio Alex's discussion 'has anyone been using the same insulin dosage since the begging of T1DM'"Hi Alessio, my dosage has been similar for 25 years. Basically 18-20 slow acting and 6-10 fast acting units per meal. Of course the types of insulin have changed since I started, transitioning from cow and pig derived insulin to human based, and…"

Alessio Alex replied to Alessio Alex's discussion 'has anyone been using the same insulin dosage since the begging of T1DM'"yes i was fully grown 22ish. My BG are fairly stable along with my A1c readings 5-6 for the past 6 years. When i am sick or depressed my insulin dose might need to go up."
Timothy replied to Alessio Alex's discussion 'has anyone been using the same insulin dosage since the begging of T1DM'"I have been diabetic for 25 years and my rates and dosages and ratios are exactly the same. I have changed my bolus rates based on time of day etc to get better control. Still one unit of insulin covers me for 15 carbs . My weight stays pretty…"
TC replied to Alessio Alex's discussion 'has anyone been using the same insulin dosage since the begging of T1DM'"I agree with the other post that suggests your immune system may have very quickly wiped out your insulin producing islets, thus no change in your insulin needs. I take it you were also fully grown at diagnosis? I'm curious, are your BG…"
Laddie replied to Alessio Alex's discussion 'has anyone been using the same insulin dosage since the begging of T1DM'"If you are already producing no insulin when you are diagnosed, Type 1 isn't necessarily progressive. If you're already producing zero insulin, you can't produce less! Your insulin dosages may change according to your stage in life.…"

So i am going to try Victoza and when i do , i will write some feedback
I work in Panama Rep. of Panama now and they don't have it here. Going to call the Victoza tomorrow and ask if they sell it in near countries such as Colombia. Since me flying to the usa and getting a script is going to be more harder that just going to the pharmacy south america were they just give it to you more easily.
