[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2282779, member: 372717"] T2 dosages tend to be (often much) higher than those of T1s, as T2s suffer from insulin resistance and typically only need treatment when their body's over production of insulin is still not enough to compensate for the carbs that they can't process properly. Assuming you are T2 (and not a misdiagnosed T1) you might want to try reducing your carbs to see if that allows you to reduce or (long term) eliminate that insulin (But talk to your team first, as if you aren't careful this could lead to hypos). But as regards the dosage, we really cannot advise here, your diabetic team should have told you how much to take and be monitoring your dosage. Are you taking short acting insulin before meals as well? ps and welcome to the forums. [/QUOTE]
