[QUOTE="Ambersilva, post: 340248, member: 43736"] Hello, Well... I was diagnosed T1 at the age of 63 with had DKA and HBAic 13.8%. GAD and C-peptide tests confirmed T1. I have not put on weight since diagnosis and could do with losing 20 lbs to be a desirable weight. We are all different and some T1s need much more insulin than others. I am currently on 12 uits of Lantus per day and 3 - 6 units of fast acting insulin at meals. At one stage I was injecting 10 units of Lantus. Today my total daily dose of insulin is 21 units - the variation being in the meal time injections. If I forget to inject the fast acting insulin my BS can soon reach the high teens even with a meal low in carbohydrate. [/QUOTE]
