HIGHER DOSAGE OF INSULIN REQUIREMENT DURING ILLNESS LIKE SEVERE COLD etc...

[seelakari]

NORMALLY WHEN I HAVE SEVERE COLD , I HAVE TO TAKE ABOUT FIFTY PERCENT EXTRA DOSAGE OF INSULIN THAN MY NORMAL REQUIREMENT. PARTICULARLY RAPID ACTING INSULIN MAY BE HIGHER IN DOSE.IF I TAKE AS USUAL THEN, MY BLOOD SUGAR LEVEL SUIT UP LIKE ANYTHING .I COULDN'T DO MY ROUTINE WORK PROPERLY.THIS IS MY EXPERIENCE DURING SICK.
