I'm currently on 58 units of novorapid and 18 units of levemir.

 

[Robster65]

Wow. That's a lot gail.

I'm on 12 units of lantus and vary the humalog between 18 in the morning and about 8-12 dinner and tea.

T2s are often on higher doses I think Robster. Insulin resistance I think

 

[Robster65]

Ah yes. I never thought of that. 🙂

Good to learn these things.

When I was on Lantus i was on 150 units a day

 

[kitten]

currently (As of today) im on 48 units of novomix 30 split equally into two doeses of 24 xxx

Well I'm on a fair amount. 24 units of Lantus and 2units per 10g carbs. Sometimes 2.5g.

Of course, the amount of insulin I take depends on what I eat that day. So far today I've taken about 38 units of Novorapid.

I use a pump so only rapid insulin. At the moment it varies between 20 to 24 units depending on the amount of exercise and how much I eat.
( normally 11-12 basal; 1:11 carbs breakfast; 1:12 lunch;1:14 dinner )
I reduced my insulin by almost a third after changing from MDI using Novo and lantus to the pump with Apidra.

just wondering, did you naturally lose weight after reducing the amount of insulin you take?

 

[tracey w]

pumping. so basal rate around 12U at the moment.

breakfast 1.5u : 10cho
lunch 1.3u: 10cho
dinner 1.5u: 10cho

snacks depend on time of day 1u : 10cho after 8pm, or if less than 15g cho, 1.5u : 10cho other times or more than 15cho

average ttd around 35u, but can be a lot more depending what i eat

5 units insulatard first thing in morning and 5 last thing at night.

Humalog when I eat - roughly 1 to 1 ratio.

 

[grandma]

Well I am like Katie but just take 14 units Lantus and 2.5 units of Humalog pre 10g carbs. Ihave just put this up yesterday at lonch time from 2 units per 10g carbs so Iwill see how it goes today.

 

[Monica]

Carol is on 19 units of Levemir.

As we carb count, the Rapid doses are different every day.

She has 2 u/10g carb for breakfast
1 1/2u/10g carb for everything else

 

[novorapidboi26]

24 units of Humilin I in the morning and 20 units at dinner time.......

Ny ratios are AM: 3u:10g
Lunch: 2u:10g
Dinner: 1.5u:10g

In between meals usually 1:1, depending on how much insulin is actually working away at the time.....

So the novorapid dose is approximately 30-50 units

 

[PhilT]

I'm currently on 36 units of Lantus.

 

[FM001]

Split dose of levemir-total units 28. Novorapid is dependent upon my carb intake for that day, but on average I take 22 units a day. Toby.

 

[Purple]

I'm on a pump and I average 57 units a day ~ 47% of that is for my basal. Oh I'm on humalog.
