Anthony replied to Cherise's discussion 'What are you playing now?' in the group diabetics with ps3 or xbox 360"I'm deep into Resident Evil 6"
Christy commented on Anthony's blog post 'Total units'"In my opinion, that's ridiculous. Your basal insulin needs are set based on your typical activity level, and your bolus insulin needs depend on your diet.
My basal insulin needs are much higher than my bolus insulin needs a majority of the…"
MandiG commented on Anthony's blog post 'Total units'"You might consider talking to your "regular" doc or calling other diabetes doc in your area. Just to be safe, ya kno? But you have to again consider everyone is a little different."
Brian (bsc) commented on Anthony's blog post 'Total units'"If you look at some of the "standard" guidance such as "Using Insulin" by Walsh. He recommends that someone eating 45-65% of their calories from carbs will use 55-60% of the TDD as basal. If you eat less carbs, then even more of…"
A blog post by Anthony was featuredTotal units
Has anybody else's doctor told them that their Humalog and Novolog total # of units taken in a day be roughly the same? Right now I'm on 5 units of long acting (taken at night), which would mean 5 units of fast acting for the day. 5 units/ 3 meals = 1.6 units of fast acting per meal. This doesn't give me much choice with food, does anybody follow this guideline?See More
Shawnmarie commented on Anthony's blog post 'Total units'"I think it's just a general average for some folks, but not a "rule" that should affect anything you do as far as determing how much to inject. For over a year I needed no basal, but still had to bolus for almost all meals. Now…"
MegaMinxX commented on Anthony's blog post 'Total units'"I have had doctors mention that 50/50 is an average, and often used for starting dosages for newly diagnosed. Or if someone is struggling with highs and lows, some doctors may 'blame' it on not being close to that average, instead of…"
MandiG commented on Anthony's blog post 'Total units'"I have never heard of this either. I take Lantus and Novolog. The Lantus I'm on 11 morning and night (22 total) and 1:5 breakfast and dinner, 1:6 at lunch for Novolog. Obiously this varys person to person and even for me I've changed all…"
Clare commented on Anthony's blog post 'Total units'"no one ever told me that rule either, I did read that rule somewhere on line, but I take 24 units of lantus, 12/12 and depending on what I eat about 20 units of apidra but as in everything with D, yours may be different. Go with what will keep your…"
mpfuchs commented on Anthony's blog post 'Total units'"Nobody ever told me about that rule. But it almost works for me.
Fast acting 2+3+4=9
Long acting =10
per day."
pancreaswanted commented on Anthony's blog post 'Total units'"i dont follow it at all. i was diagnosed 14 months ago as t1 and am honeymooning. there have been times where my basal bolus split was about 50/50, but my needs change monthly. right now it is ALL basal because i need a lot to make sure my…"
