Hi folks
been lurking again but not posting much, but this thread caught my eye because I’ve been having frustrating conversations with the medicals on this very topic. So I’m 6ft and 75 kilos, my maximum daily dose is 14 units, and basal is only 5 units. I break every rule in their book, so they thought MODY for a minute but the three sets of tests confirm strongly positive for antibodies and Zinc transporter 8 (so type 1 it is) and also some remaining insulin production but nowt to write home about. They don’t like it though, it perplexes them. My body fat percentage is very low though, lower than you’d expect from my BMI and apparently that can make a person very sensitive to insulin. I can’t take more than 5 units of bolus, if I do I’ll have a hypo regardless of how much carb. It’s interesting, but I wish the medicals would pin back their ear flaps and be a bit more open to hearing patient experience. To be honest I rarely engage with them anymore, they’re irrelevant to me when it comes to management because they didn’t listen. I’m a data analyst by trade, so I know trends, ratios and patterns. I worked it out myself because their advice was just useless to me since I don’t follow any of the rules they’re working with.
