Insulin Dosage

[pumper512]

I'm curious to how much insulin people take on a daily basis. My total, basal and bolus runs about 26 units per day.

Would anyone mind sharing how their insulins runs throughout the day.
Thanks,

I use around 40 units a day.

My 12 year old daughter uses 14 units of Lantus at night and between 5&7 units of Novorapid 3 times a day

Thanks for the info. I am just curious to how others treat their diabetes. I don't know anyone in my area who is Type1 so hearing others stories helps me to make sense of it all.

Some days are just harder to deal with than others. Again, Thanks.

I've been pumping since 2003. I have 3 basals rates (0.7 from midnight to 6 am, 0.5 from 6 am to 2 pm, and 0.6 from 2 pm to midnight). My total daily dosage ranges from 19 - 25 units (roughly) depending on what I'm eating. My insulin to carb ratio is 1:20 and one unit of insulin brings me down 72 points (4 mmol).
