Is it normal to inject so much to control myself?

I know that each person is a world and all that but with 7 years I started with type 1 diabetes ... and now 14 years later I realize that I shed much more insulin than the rest of diabetics ... about 40-45 daily units of Lantus and for meals and that perhaps 14-17 of Humalog ...

The diabetics of my surroundings have told me that they put between 6-8 and of Lantus about 20-25 ... I don't know what this is due and I want to ask if someone else happens ...

That is, my controls are perfect and I control glucose levels very well but with a lot of insulin in each puncture.

En 1922 descubrieron la insulina, en 1930 la insulina lenta. ¿Que c*** han hecho desde entonces?

     

Thank you for answering, for the subject of work and university I only take weekends to do some exercise ... and in terms of food because it is normal, neither much nor little because I do not want to swell haha.

The truth is that you have left me quieter.Thank you

I also click a lot of insulin, although my diabetes is type 2 and the reason is a huge resistance to such .......... The important thing is to control the maximum hyper and hypos and achieve good glycosilada !!!

It is not much insulin, but after a few years using it it is possible that your body does not metabolize it the same.You have tried to tell your endocrine that it changes to insulin Deglutec, Mark Tresiba? It will work better

@"Jmavs" The important thing is glucose controls, not the amount of insulin you wear.Each one is a world and we can never compare ourselves with what another diabetic is put or stopped.So do not worry about the amount!;)

I believe that we should never compare ourselves with other diabetics if they get more or less, or compare what we put on and get.
Surely we do not do the same, it is not the same life at all, the same stress, the same sport ...
Just look at the controls, insulin is to use it, the important thing is that you go well do not look at the amount you really do not worry that is the least.
Your endo will be in charge of seeing if something does not work well, but you finish agreeing with him you will always have another professional to change if you are sure.
