By missing an insulin shot, the blood sugar will stay high, as the insulin is used to move it out of the blood stream. The length of time a diabetic cat can live without insulin depends on the size, age and overall health.

How much is six units of insulin for a diabetic?
It depends on the type of insulin and also the diabetic. It varies greatly on long acting insulin and short acting insulin. For short acting insulin you need to find out the insulin to carbohydrate ratio for a diabetic first. Using a sliding scale you need to determine the blood sugar of the diabetic and also how many carbohydrates they have ingested. Whether or not it is a Type 1 or Type 2 diabetic will also affect the outcome. For an average sized adult with type 1 diabetes, they would need to consume approximately 60-85 grams of carbohydrates, but again it depends on the individual greatly.
Is it okay to hit a diabetic?
Yeah, as long as you don't hit them in the pencreas, where insulin is made in the body, which they need.

If you are dying and you have diabetes should treatment for the diabetes be stopped?
That would depend on how long you have to live. If it is only about 24 hours. then you may as well stop diabetes treatment, otherwise, the treatment should continue to the last day. An insulin dependent diabetic can go into an acidosis coma after a few days without any blood glucose management and can possibly die within a week if insulin is not administered, based on the pancreas damage and the fat-sugar conversion in the body.
What is lantus insulin?
It is a long acting insulin.
Can you drink caffe latte organo if your diabetic?
Sure, diabetics may eat whatever they wish, as long as they give themselves the proper amount of insulin to cover for the carbs they ate.
What will happen if you draw cloudy insulin up first then clear insulin and give to a patient?
The "cloudy" insulins are long-acting, while the "clear" insulins are rapid or short-acting. Drawing up the clear insulins first prevents the vial of short-acting insulin from being contaminated with a long-acting insulin.
Is liver insulin sensitive?
Normal human livers are highly sensitive to insulin. Hepatocytes, or liver cells, have numerous insulin receptors on their surfaces which bind to insulin and then trigger glycogen synthesis, soaking up free glucose in the bloodstream and forming long polymer chains for later use as fuel. Studies have shown, however, that diabetic individuals have decreased sensitivity to insulin not only generally but also specifically in the liver, due partly to a decrease in the number of insulin receptors.
What will happen to someone with type one diabetes if they go too long without an insulin shot?
A person with type 1 diabetes will develop a condition known as Hyperglycemia if they go too long without taking insulin. Hyperglycemia is a buildup of glucose, or sugar, in the blood. This occurs due to the fact that there is no insulin available to help the absorption of glucose into the cells to be turned into glycogen.
How much sugar can a diabetic with a reading of 32units of insulin have per day thankyou?
The 32 units of insulin doesn't mean too much. How much of that is fast acting, long and or intermediate acting. What are the postprandial numbers? Preprandial? You need to count total carbohydrates, not just sugar.
