I check my sugar before and after anything goes in my mouth and follow that with an injection of Humalog. Between blood sugar sticks and insulin that's about 16 pokes a day. It's beyond ouch! My question is: My blood sugar is so unstable and my absorption is so unpredictable how did your doctor ever determine what rate to set your insulin pump. Pancreatitis Induced Diabetes is completely different from Type 1 or Type 2. I can't seem to come to a conclusion regarding an insulin to carb ratio. What type of insulin is in your pump?
