[QUOTE="HeartlessHaxisal, post: 1572820, member: 401522"] It sounds like a cop out answer, but if you know what works for your body, then stick to it. You know yourself more than any doctor. I believe my own basal is around 14 units? I just adjust up or down to accommodate what my body needs, I don't care what this doctor says. It's ridiculous and possibly harmful advice to say you should only use 7 units of insulin if you require more, it could lead to spikes in your bloods and therefore reduce your control over them. If it means per injection, I guess I can see the logic behind it, but as long as you regularly rotate your injection/cannula sites so you don't become insulin resistant, I don't see the issue.
