A member asked:
If the diabetes is 500 and i take 5 unites of the insuline is it enough?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Everyone responds to Insulin differently so it is hard to say but 5 u is very small so it's unlikely to control it. You should talk to the doctor who is following your diabetes and he/she will tell you what you need to do with the Insulin dose.
