How many units do you inject per day?

Today I'm on 10u Lantus and 11u Novorapid. Basal goes up by 20% tomorrow.

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.

For me, it all depends on how many CARBS I eat at each meal. I take 22 units insulatard in the morning, at breakfast, and 24 units insulatard around 9.00pm. I carb count at each meal so my novorapid will vary. I also take metformin ST at meal times.
 
I'm pumping and use a bit under 30 units novorapid. Eating low carb and weigh about 80kgs. Only diagnosed 5 months ago so still have a wee bit of my own insulin but no honeymoon.
