[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1474100, member: 32394"] 120 units sounds like a high total daily dose to me, but then I'm not type 2. This guide for GPs starting type 2 on insulin suggests a normal TDD at 0.5 units per kg of body weight - [URL]http://www.gpnotebook.co.uk/simplepage.cfm?ID=x20040129231916799480[/URL] but I wouldn't be too bothered about what's normal or what sounds excessive. What matters is does it work to manage your blood sugar. I think [USER=196960]@ickihun[/USER] has experience of mixed insulin and high dosages, she may have more info on what's normal or excessive dosages in type 2 diabetics. [/QUOTE]
