PaJR PHR Moderator: Nice summary of what has been discussed.
However data driven healthcare may demand that the LLM (do also mention the name of the LLM, has some free LLM version again started accepting URLs?) shares the date and time of the events that it currently points out in general

Narmeen Shah: Sir I just realized sharing the date time reference for the above summary is not possible as Google notebookLM doesn't keep the history of prompt and its response. I will share everything altogether from now on.
Sir uptil now I know it is Google NotebookLM which easily takes the URL to analyze in its free version.
One more AI application "Insight7" I tried today for data analysis. Here we can copy paste the entire case report without any word limit issue in free version. Below are the links of the analysis that is shared individually as the limitation of free version. It has also discussed the same points that has been discussed here but in a more proper, efficient and visually appealing way.

PaJR PHR Moderator: The pre dinner sugars are quite erratic! While on Saturday 8/3/25 her pre dinner was 185 her Sunday 9/3/25 pre dinner was 413! Albeit her pre lunch lispro on Saturday was 5U while on Sunday was 3.5U and this difference was again influenced by her pre lunch sugars! I'm wondering if measuring pre meal insulin is good or 2 hours post meal is better @Participant 20 ?

PaJR PHR Moderator: @Meta AI How much calories in 10 gms of 55% dark chocolate and how much carb counted lispro insulin injection units can be taken for it?
Meta AI: To calculate the calories in 10g of 55% dark chocolate, we'll need to know the approximate calorie density of dark chocolate. According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), 100g of dark chocolate (45-59% cocoa solids) contains approximately 575 calories.
For 10g of 55% dark chocolate, the calorie count would be:
(10g / 100g) * 575 calories β 57.5 calories
As for the carb count, 10g of dark chocolate typically contains around 6-7g of carbohydrates. To calculate the insulin units needed, we'll use the following assumptions:
- 1 unit of lispro insulin covers 15g of carbohydrates (this may vary depending on individual factors, so consult your healthcare provider for personalized guidance)
- You want to cover the entire carb content of the chocolate (6-7g)
Based on these assumptions, the insulin units needed would be:
6-7g carbohydrates / 15g carbohydrates per unit β 0.4-0.47 units of lispro insulin
Please note that this is an estimate and may vary depending on individual factors, such as your personal insulin sensitivity, diet, and exercise. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized guidance on insulin dosing.
PaJR PHR Moderator: @Meta AI How much calories in a banana and how much carb counted lispro insulin injection units can be taken for it?
Meta AI: According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), a medium-sized banana (approximately 118g) contains:
- Calories: 105
- Carbohydrates: 27g
To calculate the insulin units needed, we'll use the same assumption as before:
- 1 unit of lispro insulin covers 15g of carbohydrates (this may vary depending on individual factors, so consult your healthcare provider for personalized guidance)
Based on this, the insulin units needed to cover the carb content of a medium-sized banana would be:
27g carbohydrates / 15g carbohydrates per unit β 1.8 units of lispro insulin
Please note that this is an estimate and may vary depending on individual factors, such as your personal insulin sensitivity, diet, and exercise. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized guidance on insulin dosing.
PaJR PHR Moderator: @Participant 20 did she need 2U lispro to cover her choclate and banana at 6:00 PM?
Participant 20: Please tell us the brand name of the chocolate
Patient Advocate:
How are her bowel habits? Does she feel bloating and pass gas with certain foods?
Patient Advocate: Her bowel habits is once in a day

PaJR PHR Moderator: @Participant 20 i wonder if you have noticed this:
In this method of judging efficacy of insulin on blood glucose by checking pre meals alone and also using that to decide the next dose of insulin pre meal, one often tends to hike the dose of pre meal insulin based largely on the pre meal glucose rather than also factor in the actual meal requirements? What's your opinion on this @Meta AI ? Please substantiate your inputs with links to evidence based data
Meta AI: A very astute observation! You're right; relying solely on pre-meal blood glucose levels to adjust insulin doses can lead to overcorrection, particularly if meal requirements aren't taken into account.
Research suggests that this approach can result in:
1. Overinsulinization: Administering more insulin than needed, which can cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) (1).
2. Inadequate postprandial glucose control: Failing to account for the carbohydrate content of the meal can lead to post-meal hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) (2).
To address this issue, many experts recommend using a more comprehensive approach to insulin dosing, which considers multiple factors, including:
1. Carbohydrate counting: Accounting for the carbohydrate content of the meal to determine insulin doses (3).
2. Pre-meal blood glucose levels: Considering the current blood glucose level to adjust insulin doses (4).
3. Physical activity: Factoring in physical activity levels, as exercise can impact insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake (5).
4. Individual insulin sensitivity: Taking into account each person's unique insulin sensitivity and response to different types of insulin (6).
The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends using a patient-centered approach to insulin therapy, which involves:
1. Collaborative goal setting: Working with healthcare providers to set personalized blood glucose targets.
2. Individualized insulin regimens: Tailoring insulin doses and regimens to each person's unique needs and lifestyle.
3. Ongoing education and support: Providing patients with the knowledge and skills needed to manage their diabetes effectively (7).
In conclusion, while pre-meal blood glucose levels are an important factor in determining insulin doses, they should not be the sole consideration. A more comprehensive approach that takes into account meal requirements, physical activity, and individual insulin sensitivity is likely to result in more effective and safe insulin therapy.

Participant 20: Yes i agree. Rapid actings generally don't cause as much Hypos as the long actings and ideally should be tailored to the upcoming meal.
It also seems the patient never receives correctional doses at all?
PaJR PHR Moderator: Correctional dose are possible if they check the outcomes after two hours of insulin? Here the strategy for giving insulin before meals is partly related to utilise it as means to correct the pre meal insulin alone

However Lispro reaches its peak within an hour and can correct faster. Also these doses were devised based on CGM data.

Participant 20: Can you please tell us why a Lispro dose of 0.5 units was decided on?
Also, how do you usually decide on the Lispro dose?
Patient Advocate: Lispro dose
For every 70 level sugar =1u lispro
+
Meal =2.5u lispro
Pre breakfast and snacks = 1 - 2u lispro
But at dinner we use 2 - 2.5u less lispro because it was seen when we used lispro as same as others meal then suger level come down in very low
( Sir we do not calculate the curbs of every food, so we use the lispro dose as assumption.
When lispro dose was 2u for the meal then the sugar level always high)
Some times suggest me in this group to reduce and increase the lispro dose.

PaJR PHR Moderator: The lispro higher dose effect got carried forward inspite of it's promised short duration of action? @Participant 20
Participant 20: I think much more likely is Dawn's
It's happening daily and unlikely due to Lispro now.
Can give Lantus ideally with the 6 30 PM snack there and dinner could be earlier
Can we consider Freestyle Libre 2 for 14 days here?
PaJR PHR Moderator: Suggested earlier. Wasn't possible due to various factors
Suggested earlier. Wasn't possible due to various factors
Her problem today was fasting hypoglycemia
Dawn would be if she had hyperglycemia?
Participant 20: This can wait "Can we consider Freestyle Libre 2 for 14 days here?"
This should be prioritized "Can give Lantus ideally with the 6 30 PM snack there and dinner could be earlier"
Yes I agree but the hypoglycemia has to be interpreted in context. Is it then leading to a hyperglycemia? Do we have 10 AM or 11 AM sugars? What is the child's sleep cycle?
I'm also under the impression, the child is getting a cyclical hypoglycemia with pretty much the same doses.
PaJR PHR Moderator: They mentioned the reason for which I shall need to scroll up. Any way AI can search it out @Narmeen Shah or @Patient Advocate can you tell us again the reasons for your patient's family's inability to have an early dinner as suggested earlier?
Participant 20: Can we get a graph of her blood sugars in the last 1 or two weeks?
This is exactly why we need the CGM. It can show a pattern for the last 2 weeks

Participant 20: The best efficacy to prevent a Dawn's is to increase Protein carb ratio evening meal and exercise in the evening
The diet is mixed but looks deficient in protein.
Milk + Puffed rice + white rice is perhaps a bit too much carbs.
Participant 20: @PaJR PHR Moderator I think we should consider Tresiba now.
Switch the Lantus to Tresiba.
Participant 20: Reviewed this chart in detail. My analysis is that Lantus in her is lasting for about 16 to 18 hrs. Which explains the cyclical Hypos as we are needing to chase the one off Hyper with an increase in 1 unit of Lantus and then subsequent Hypo. Or she appears to be having antibodies to Insulin and Lantus unfortunately is notorious to develop antibodies in patients.
So the solution is to either move the Lantus dose - 2 hours everyday but this would be impractical as there will be days when it will disturb her sleep.
The solution would be to do an Ultra long acting Degludec which is well past 24 hours and also has lesser Hypos compared to Glargine U100
@Patient Advocate could you please share a picture of all insulins she is receiving?
