A member asked:

Insulin does not seem to be working for my dad any more, what can be done?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Raise the dose: Hi. Insulin is dosed unlike ANY other drug. I've had patients who need 1,000 (yes, ONE THOUSAND) units/day. If some dose of insulin isn't working, TAKE MORE. The right dose is what controls the sugar.
