[QUOTE="Ushthetaff, post: 2396334, member: 429002"] Heard this question a few times and wondered can you compare what one person takes with respect to another , of course you can as long as it’s just from an “ interest” point of view as yours is . Personally as this subject is personal I can’t tell exactly what my daily intake is going to be cos it’s rarely the same ! As I eat differently most days . And to be honest I’m not bothered how much insulin I take as long as my blood sugars are within “range” , as we know blood sugars can be affected by numerous things , one thing I do know is back in the days when fixed dosages of insulin were the only way of controlling diabetes I was asked by a insurance person whilst trying to insure a car that the amount of insulin I was taking “ was a lot “ when I told her the amount , I would like to think we have advanced since then , I know when I’ve been in hospital in the past and during the initial form filling by the nurse I was always asked how much insulin do you take I can tell them my normal Basel dose and carb ratio but Bolus dose pick a number lol it always seems like a tick in the box exercise as they always left me deal with my insulin management myself.
