Basal is 7.5 at the moment, Bolus varies with what I'm eating, I had 15 today, it included Christmas cake, but lower carb meals, so it's probably a good average, so 22.5 total.

Glad someone else succumbs to Christmas Cake.
 
I had used my average total daily dose of about 28 units.
I did peak at 32 on Christmas Day. That Christmas cake is so tempting!
 
I have gone for 20-29.my basal is 13, split 8 morning 5 evening. Breakfast never more than 3 sometimes none. Lunch usually 4-6, evening meal varies depending how much of a greedy cow I feel! But generally averages 7 I would think.

If Wensleydale is not available I resort to Cheddar with it.
Introduced to this by Father in law who was from Yorkshire.
 
Oh my word found a block of Wensldale in the fridge going to have to change my survey score after this lol
 
I prefer Lancashire or Cheddar. Wensleydale doesn’t have enough of a tang for me.
