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.
