[QUOTE="TypeZero., post: 2280188, member: 525950"] I’m not entirely sure why she said that either. I think she’s just reiterating general guidance. I know a 12 year old girl in my family, she’s obviously thinner and shorter than me yet her Lantus is 24 units so it’s really strange. Basal insulin seems to be different for everyone and no simple correlation e.g. heavier people use more insulin. Taking into account my C peptide which is 113 while for a healthy person it’s 600+ I don’t think my Lantus would increase that significantly. I’m producing a bit more than 1/6 of the minimum insulin a non-diabetic produces, taking that into account I think my dosage will increase by a couple of units at the max nothing too major. [/QUOTE]
