[QUOTE="MarkMunday, post: 2300655, member: 525839"] Insulin requirement of an insulin sensitive person is about 0.5 units per Kg of body weight per day. That works out to 35 units for a 70 Kg person per day. It is lower with low carb so it looks like you are making a fair amount of your insulin. I eat low carb, I weigh 73 Kg and I use about 30 units of insulin a day. People with insulin resistance and who are fully dependent on injected insulin use over 1 unit/Kg daily. [/QUOTE]
