[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 183749, member: 11028"] stoney, Once over the insulin calculation when diagnosed was worked out by your body weight in pounds divided by 4, for example a 12 stone man (168 lb) would require 42 units of insulin (168/4=42). Basal insulin (lantus in your case) should account for 40-50% of the total dose and the rest would be your QA insulin to cover meals. This calculation if still in use was only a rough guide and I found I needed a little less than my dsn recommended as a starting dose when first diagnosed. Nigel [/QUOTE]
