The amount of insulin needed tends to be different for Type 1s and Type 2s.. I was chatting with my GP and she was saying it is easier to treat T1 diabetics and they generally are on much smaller doses of insulin than a T2 diabetic. I have probably got loads of insulin roaming round my body, but my body doesnt recognise my own insulin but it does recognise the injected stuff. I am on 66u Levemir in the morning, and 26u at night and my novorapid at the moment is 24u, 20u, 26u.. in dec my levemir was just 23u in the morning then in jan i was told to split my doses. My diabetic nurse is in conatct with me every week and she increases my insulin as required. I am sure I will soon need levemir on tap if it gets any higher I am going through vials so quickly lol. I also am on 1.5G of metformin as well to ensure my body recognises the insulin as they make the receptors more sensitive.
