[QUOTE="TheBigNewt, post: 1534348, member: 380756"] I was 32. 16 of Levemir sounds like a reasonable starting dose. I take 25 of Lantus. 8-12 of Novorapid isn't outrageous either. I usually take 5-10/meal. One thing that will help stabilize thing is if you could eat the EXACT SAME 3 MEALS every day for a short time. That way your grams of carbs won't vary, your calories will be the same. Then you can guage how many units of "bolus" to take with each meal. The 3 meals don't have to be the same, just make the breakfast the same each day, etc. I have a cheese omlet for breakfast, about 500 calories, and 5 units takes care of it every time. My lunch is cottage cheese, a portion of fruit, can of V-8 juice, and an entrée (leftovers from dinner usually), maybe a few tomatoes. About 6-8 units does that depending on the entrée. [/QUOTE]
