I think this is one that all we can say is from personal experience and as Alan says we vary immensely (weight, gender, age, hormones, other medications , I notice Alan takes a steroid could effect his dose )
. I started with a basal bolus regime of 34 units total (17 basal/17 bolus) but as I gained control this reduced.
Now 9 years later (and using a pump which reduces need by a small degree) it's variable between when I'm very active at around 20 units to about 28-30 when in the midst of winter and being lazy and eating too much.
