The amount of insulin considered "too much" varies by individual and depends on factors such as body weight, insulin sensitivity, and dietary intake. Generally, people with type 1 Diabetes may use 0.5 to 1.0 units of insulin per kilogram of body weight per day, while those with type 2 diabetes may require less. Consistently high doses can lead to hypoglycemia and other complications, so it's essential to monitor blood sugar levels and consult a healthcare professional for personalized guidance. Always adjust insulin under medical supervision to ensure safe and effective management.
The 32 units of insulin doesn't mean too much. How much of that is fast acting, long and or intermediate acting. What are the postprandial numbers? Preprandial? You need to count total carbohydrates, not just sugar.
Either a high cellular sensitivity to insulin or too much insulin in the blood.
Not too much. Maybe £60 per day (I think)
too little ADH
when insulin is secreted in a high amount than normal. too much insulin= low blood sugar.
2
up to 4 mg per day
Hyperinsulinism
should I use blood glucose test daily if I have produce too much insulin
When using a tuberculin syringe instead of an insulin syringe, it's important to note the differences in their measurements. A tuberculin syringe is calibrated in tenths of a milliliter (0.1 ml), while an insulin syringe is calibrated in units. To convert units of insulin to milliliters, you need to know the concentration of your insulin (typically 100 units per 1 ml). So, if you need to draw up 10 units of insulin with a tuberculin syringe, you would draw up 0.1 ml of insulin.
it means that your blood sugar is low because you took too much insulin.
Yes, it is possible for anyone to die if they inject too much insulin. What will occur is something called insulin shock. Their blood glucose will drop and they can go into a coma. In extreme cases this can be followed by death.
