2: Insulin Deficiency
Asleep pancreas + “wake up”-= Pancreas insulin factory
Most Common-Diet and Exercise can treat this
To convert HbA1c to the average glucose value this represents:
Glucose Value = (HbA1c x 35.6) – 77.3
Jason 29.559 (29.559 x 35.5) – 77.3 = 975
Fat red blood cell
IV’s (I poke)1,000 liters x 6 =6000 liters
“Finger stick” blood tests
6/hr x 18 hours = 108
Vein draws18 hrs / every 3 hrs = 6
That’s 169 owies!
U100 Insulin means 100 units insulin per ml suspension x 10 ml
vial = 1000 Units per vial.
1000 unites divided into 100 cc potassium IV drip =10 units of
insulin per cc to infuse.
Divided by the needed dose of .5 units/hr = .05 cc/hr
The pump delivers .01cc fluid/drip, we need 5 drips an hour(60 min)
=1 drip every 20 min
½ daily dose = ½ (12) = 6 units/day with NpH insulin, giving the shots twice a day, 12-hours apart,
each shot = 3 units to give a basil rate of insulin.
Fast Acting to the rescue
Carb Counting
16 grams per 1 unit insulin
4-10 shots a day for 26 yearsThis averages 6 shots a dayFor 365 days a year x 26=
56,940 shots
$3500 + $300 + $180 +$270 + $500 = $4930
$5,000 on a simple interest of 5% ($250) = $5,250 over 12 months
=$437.50/month
1 site every 3 days instead of 6-8 shots a day!
