[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2300641, member: 451727"] Now that is interesting. I have always wondered how much (on average I guess) a non diabetic's insulin output would be. I know it would depend on what is eaten and many other variables but it's still interesting. I use around 6 units of novarapid throughout the day and 8 units of Lantus once a day, so 14 units a day. I eat around 130 carbs on an average day so nothing too extreme either way and I exercise at least 3/4 times a week. So I wonder why my overall insulin amount is so much lower than a 'normal' person then? I guess it could be that I am still producing some of my own insulin that adds to the 14 units? Who knows but fascinating stuff. [/QUOTE]
