insulin
Hi,
I have been taking insulin for 7 yrs and I recently started on an
insulin pump using humulog It seems to not work as well as the
humulin Has anyone else had this experience?

Hi Laurie,
Thanks for the feedback, I have really been careful in keeping my blood sugar
low (usual range for me in the 72 to 124 range) I thought I was going nuts!
Blood sugars in the 154 to 224 range!! I am a very warm person I’ll try
mixing some humilin wuth my pump insulin,
Again Thanks

Now, if the body is insulin resistant, and the receptor cells aren’t using what
is already IN the body, then why is MORE insulin pushed on diabetics thru
injections? Is there not a test to see how much insulin in the blood there is,
vs how much bg is present, or is it the same thing?
My sister who is on insulin says some day they will realize they have killed
diabetics by putting the cart before the horse. She firmly believes many of her
ill health woes are due to the onset of the insulin use. she reminds me of the
people on this list who do research. She reads anything she can get her hands
on.

Sure there is a test.
My diabetic specialist never did it!
Serum C-peptide testing will tell you how
much the beta cells are still working and the
amount of insulin you are producing.
A good book for a Christmas Present to
yourself might be
"Dr. Bernstein’s Diabetic Solution,
Revised and Updated."
It will speak of this test more than once.
Naturally, if you are a type 1 diabetic you are
going to need the insulin, or if your beta cells
through the years are burnt out.

Hi CE,
I think more insulin is being pushed through a smaller nozzle, that being
the surviving cell receptors the insulin must stick to. By rebuilding the
numbers of intact receptor sites to normal, cell function including
insulin sensitivity can be also normalised.
