[QUOTE="MarkMunday, post: 2320822, member: 525839"] Declining insulin sensitivity as endogenous insulin production fades is normal. Using 70 units of insulin for a 54 kg body sounds like a lot, but until blood glucose is stabilised and corrections are no longer required, the actual insulin requirement is uncertain. My suggestion is to do the basal testing, fill the basal insulin gaps, get bolusing to where it needs to to be, and then consider the insulin requirement. The sequence is important. Trying to fix bolusing while basal is out of whack puts one on a hiding to nothing. [/QUOTE]
