Hi
I`ve been diabetic since 1995, and have never discussed what insulin dosages are considered "normal". I take 12 units (max) of Humalog for each of 3 meals a day, I weigh 75kgs and exercise 6 days a week. I take 18 units of Lantus at night. My HBA1C is 7. The diabetic consultants I see at the hospital are unable to offer useful commentary, and always point to my acceptable results.
I appreciate everyone is different, carb intake and body composition differ etc etc, but just wondered what is average. I read online that 40 units of Lantus a day was the average, but fear it may have been a US average...
Thanks
Rich
