Just wondering how many units of insulin people Inject per day? I inject 8 basal before bed and on average 12 (9-15) bolus units broken up throughout the day and I'm around 89kg.
 
I am pumping, and yesterday I had 79 units all in.........

I am 106kg....
 
30u levimir am and 36 units levimir pm. About 30 units of Novorapid through out the day. I'm about 67kg

im type 1 take 3 novorapid per day of 13units & 1 lantus evening of 16 units
 
On average my TDD is around 36 units, basal insulin is 18 units and bolus can be anywhere between 14-20 units depending on what I eat.
 
i have 21 units lantus and approx 10-15 units novorapid over the day
 
Glad this has been asked - had been wondering where I fit in as not seen many posts about low doses.

I have average TDD of 17: 8 Lantus in the morning; 1 Lantus at night and around 8 rapid acting given in 3-4 injections depending on food and activity.

Wish I could get the old weaker insulin as U100 feels like a very blunt tool. Weigh about 67kg.

5 units basal in the morning and 5 units of basal 12 hours later.
 
More info please! What insulin is currently available in U20 or U40? I was told they'd all stopped years ago! (I need analogue - am Type 1.)

This was in 1972

I think you can still get it for animals though
 
:/ everyone has pretty low doses compared to me!
