Basals

[spiritfree]

What is your total basal rate.? Mine is 39.9 Daily Basal, quite high but works well. Would love to know what other pumpers daily basals are. Please reply as I am very interested in this subject.

11.25 for me but I am diddly and have only been type one for 22 months

My son's daily basal is 7U, out of a TDD of 22-25U

Average over the last 7 days for me is 11.725u per day.

I'm not sure that there is a 'normal', though it is often suggested that a non-D will produce around 50% for background and 50% for eating. John Walsh ( in pumping insulin) says a T1 split is likely to be between 40-60% of TDD.

I suppose a lot of that will depend on your daily carb intake!
