2. DIABETES: Calculating an Insulin Dose

10. 2 Types: TYPE 2 “Adult Onset” or “Non-Insulin Dependent” 3 main things go wrong…

11. 1: Insulin Resistance Skinny Insulin… Plus coffee = Happy Insulin!

12. 2: Insulin Deficiency Asleep pancreas + “wake up”- = Pancreas insulin factory Most Common-Diet and Exercise can treat this

15. HYPERGLYCEMIA

17. HYPOGLYCEMIA “INSULIN REACTION”

19. Insulin Right Amount, Right Time, Right Concentration

20. Jason was 975 mg/dl Normal= 70-120 mg/dl 975/120=8 times normal, or 800% of normal

21. No anorexia… that’s ½ tsp in the blood steam constantly… not 1.2 tsp a day!

22. HbA1c of 29.559 “normal” is considered to be 4.5 to 5.5

23. 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

25. IV’s (I poke) 1,000 liters x 6 =6000 liters “Finger stick” blood tests 6/hr x 18 hours = 108 Vein draws 18 hrs / every 3 hrs = 6 That’s 169 owies!

29. Carb Counting 16 grams per 1 unit insulin 4-10 shots a day for 26 years This averages 6 shots a day For 365 days a year x 26= 56,940 shots
