Would likely work if you had a CGM (continuous glucose monitor).
Blood glucose levels are really hard to get right with old insulin. Literally everything you do pushes your blood sugar demand up or down (sleep, stress, activity, macronutrient load/timing).
Modern insulin analogs tent to smooth out these variables.
- RHSeeger 6y agoIt is more difficult, but its not completely horrible. It's certainly better than the death in the post I was replying to ("was found dead in his home because he couldn't afford $1,300 per month for insulin."). I get that the older insulins are not as good. I get that they're more difficult to use. They are, however, most definitely better than dying. Any story that says says the person died because they couldn't afford 1300/ month for insulin is being disingenuous.
