[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1759349, member: 32394"] You calculate it by doing basal testing. Here's a guide on how to basal test - [URL]https://mysugr.com/basal-rate-testing/[/URL] There's not a lot of point in worrying about what is an average basal dose because you are not average. To find the average TDD (so all of your insulin, basal and bolus) get you weight in kg and times by 0.53, bout 50% of that should be your basal, but if you are low carbing you are likely to be taking more basal than bolus. I really wouldn't worry about average doses. You know it's the right dose for you if it's keeping your blood sugar in control. That's the important thing. [/QUOTE]
