[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2369196, member: 372207"] Hi [USER=538661]@Milson[/USER], and welcome to the forum! I use between 110 and 160 units a day between my basal and bolus, so only just a bit less than you do. I was dignosed just over 4 years ago and my dose has been creeping up over the years. I'm not particularly worried about this, as long as it does the job. I know some T1's use metformin to help with insulin resistance, and I also know there are some people who need much higher doses than we do. Have you spoken to your diabetes team about your worries? My endo doesn't seem worried by the amount of insulin I need so neither am I, but it can be helpful to mention it on your next visit :) [/QUOTE]
