[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 2068422"] To be honest, I don't pay much attention to life expectancy figures for type 1 as this can only be based on historic data. Given the recent technological improvements in diabetes management in the last 20 years, I am not convinced there is enough evidence to accurately calculate life expectancy with the tools we use today. Rather than getting hung up on how long I may live, I focus on managing my BG. And, as we are all different, with different weights, different diets, different levels of exercise and different insulin sensitivities, there is not much value in comparing insulin doses. If your dose keeps your BG in range most of the time, it is the right amount of insulin for you. [/QUOTE]
