how much more insulin can I handle?
I'm currently taking Humulin R slin. I wake up and hit 4 or 5 units, at lunch time another 5 units(I follow these injections with a low-fat yogurt, I know its not 10 grams per unit, but I've never had a problem with shaky hands or lethargic feeling until I get to 10 units) Then after my workout I'll hit 10-12 units followed with a soda or some sugar wafers or a candy bar, maybe some cell tech. I eat a decent size meal an hour and a half after this. So I'd say my insulin intake is around 20 units a day, 7 days a week. I'm a pretty good size guy, about 216 at 8.5%. Can I take more insulin than what I'm taking, will it do me any good?? Also, I was planning on just burning through this one bottle. How long is too long to stay on insulin?? Thanks for the help guys!!
