[QUOTE="handicapable, post: 1826490, member: 479878"] I know nobody on here can really give me a definitive answer to this (I did just download an app to ask a diabetologist but when I clicked 'post' it wanted £20 p/m hence me pasting it here) but somebody must be able to tell me how they were started on insulin or give an educated answer. Any reply would be much appreciated, ta. Can you please tell me the best practice for insulin therapy in a newly diagnosed type 1 diabetic 30 years of age, weighing 70kg (down from 80kg) on a basal/bolus regime. How many units of each would you generally prescribe to begin with? I think this one is self explanatory but would you start off with lower doses and work them up in increments over a period of time until the desired blood glucose levels are achieved, or would you do it the other way round?
