None the less, good enough to keep you alive. They have NPH which lasts 12 hours, R which is 4-6 hours, and 70/30 which is a mix of the two. I use it to stay alive.
lose your eyes and a foot or two. Just good ol Murica. Just let medicare negotiate drug prices
If you keep your levels lower, you won't. That requires heavy monitoring, which they now have continuous monitors that are $75 a month. That means you can see when you go about 200 and get a unit of fast acting to counter act that. For someone like me that was 300 while fasting and in ketosis (hence they dubbed me type 1 since I was not ill) this is a life saver. Used with my Freestyle Libre 2, my averages are below 180. I have even gone too low before for the first time in decades. After going through all my files, they said I had diabetes since I was a child that was completely untreated. To be truthful it's a miracle I haven't lost a foot or eyes yet. So this is giving me another 10 or 20 years, I would never have with my children. For that I am thankful. I was supposed to be on Lantus, but that is a no-go. My insurer does not pay for that and I don't have 1k per month for it. Some of it is down to exercise too. I had no feeling in my right foot...none and could barely use it. I started the insulin in August and started exercising. I am getting feeling back in my foot and I can use it better now. My doc said I might regain most of that function and feeling since I am young enough.
Glad to hear you have got a handle on your levels. Some folk make $900 a month on SS so the monthly might by large.
