Plus-Minus Several Units

increase your daily dose of long-acting insulin by 2-4 units and check your blood sugar levels after a few days.

In general, self-increasing or decreasing insulin dosage can be a useful tool for controlling blood sugar levels, but only if the patient has a good understanding of their disease and treatment regimen, and is monitoring their blood sugar levels. It is not recommended to change insulin doses without consulting a doctor, especially if the patient is not sure of the reasons for the change in blood sugar levels.

It is also worth remembering that if you independently change the insulin dose, undesirable effects such as hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia may occur. Hypoglycemia can lead to seizures, loss of consciousness and other dangerous consequences. Hyperglycemia can lead to diabetic coma and other serious complications.

In any case, patients with diabetes should carefully monitor their condition and blood sugar levels, carry out regular tests and consult a doctor. This is the only way to achieve good diabetes compensation and prevent the development of complications.
