Humalog dosage

[Guest guest]

For all those using a pump it only takes one kind of short-acting insulin to

establish a basal dose and a bolus dose for Humalog, the only insulin used in a

pen. I established this factt several years ago with Jen, whom I told her

theoretically it would only dtake one kind of insulin to function in the pump,

and fortunately Jen confirmed my thinking. She told me her pump only uses

Humalog. For those of us like me who use two kinds of insulin like Lantus for

basal insulin and Humalog for bolus dosage or basal dosage the calculations will

vary from one kind of insulin to another kind of insulin. I am sure there is

some formula to determine the basal dose of Humalog to use, but I do not know

what it is. Maybe Jen can help out here. No matter what it is a period of

observation is required to regulate the dosage required for the basal dose as

well as the bolus dose.
