300: When you arrive, you never go down

Hello everyone.

I would like to comment on something that has been happening to me: when I get to 300 it is almost impossible to lower it in the following two hours.Sometimes, after two hours and having put insulin, it is still in the same figure.I have to click more and, perhaps, at 4 or 5 hours I reached acceptable levels.I don't understand this resistance when I get to 300. Does anyone happen to anyone?

All the best.

If exactly the same thing happens to me.
Patience and more insulin and to wait for it to go down.

It often happens to me that when I am very high I correct me once and I measure me at the time and it remains the same, I correct again and nothing, and then within a few minutes of the third correction I hurry a low that I have to take2 cocacola cans.

Idem.Today, I have eaten around 14.30, I have already arrived high, and I have punctured I think the correction is well more.At 15.45 I was still in 300, I have put 2 more insulin units and until 16.30 it has not begun to descend, but it has stabilized in 96 at 19.00 (just to start a cookie: P).

By the way, when you say to correct ... what is the minimum amount you have put to correct?(Question not suitable for firefighters: P) It is that I am 220, I want to correct myI have a droplet out and I think that if I have only put 1 unit and I have 1 droplet out, is that nothing will have entered 8- |What's wrong I have done Jiji but if I punctu

Sometimes the ball does not put exactly a unit.I still like the syringes, to be at home ..

About correction: I have calculated that to download 100 I have to put 5 or 6 novorapid units.I told a nurse and it seemed a barbarity.

At a higher level of glucose, greater insulin resistance.
Our endocrine explained it to us by doing an analogy with traffic: if there is a jam, it costs you more to advance.
Well, that is what he told us that it happened to insulin when there was a lot of glucose concentration.

That is, if to correct 200, 2Ud of fast (50 per unit to stay at 100) were needed, to correct 300 they would be more than 4 for the resistance (it would be necessary to put in this case 5 or 6).

Yes, there is more resistance with high values, but I have read that it is better to lower little by little, than a drastic descent can be dangerous..

It happens to me the same and gives you the feeling that insulin is water and that it is totally useless to use the fast to correct.The only clear thing is that it is better to fall short than to correct the beast and then hit your lowness although a lot late

I personally in the afternoons like at 10 pm it starts to rise without eating any HC.
Start from 150 until you reach 230 at about 1 in the morning.
These days I had to correct with 2 of Humalog at 22 hours and it is like water does nothing.
At 1 in the morning I am already in 230 and 3 of fast for dawn in 120.
From the basal I continue with 22 units at night and 14 in the morning.
And if it is difficult to go down about 2 or three hours during the night and early morning.
Is it very rare right?

@Afterego is not strange, I go with a bomb, I have 5 different basal depending on the time and I can assure you that it does not have to do with each other.I also have another format for when I can not do sports for some circumstances and it has nothing to do with the other.
The body needs different insulin units depending on the time and each one is different.

@jconegar.You are more right than a saint.I notice.In the stretch of approximately 7 to 11 hours I need more basal than in the rest of the day.From 12 to 16 o17 hours much less.In the afternoon much less.And at night I need something more but not as much as in the morning.

Never, we never need the same basal so neither the lantus, neither the toujeo nor any more are the perfect solution.The best is the boma

Hahahahaha the droplet, I have felt so identified ...
