How many units do you inject per day?

[JayH]

Just wondering how many units of insulin people Inject per day? I inject 8 basal before bed and on average 12 (9-15) bolus units broken up throughout the day and I'm around 89kg.

im type 1 take 3 novorapid per day of 13units & 1 lantus evening of 16 units

 

[noblehead]

On average my TDD is around 36 units, basal insulin is 18 units and bolus can be anywhere between 14-20 units depending on what I eat.

 

[robert72]

Currently 12 basal, 12 bolus. 67 kg. Low carb

i have 21 units lantus and approx 10-15 units novorapid over the day

Glad this has been asked - had been wondering where I fit in as not seen many posts about low doses.

I have average TDD of 17: 8 Lantus in the morning; 1 Lantus at night and around 8 rapid acting given in 3-4 injections depending on food and activity.

Wish I could get the old weaker insulin as U100 feels like a very blunt tool. Weigh about 67kg.

I started on U20 but moved up to U40 after a couple of months

 

[Lisbet]

More info please! What insulin is currently available in U20 or U40? I was told they'd all stopped years ago! (I need analogue - am Type 1.)

Slow onset type 1 (Type 1.5 AKA LADA) I just about get away with Basal only but I do a very low carb diet regime.
