Weight doesn't always dictate insulin requirements. I have a 6'4 230 pound friend that takes less insulin then me and a 5'6 150 lb freind that takes more then me. I am 5'8 and 160 lbs. We all are in very good shape. Weight to insulin is a rule of thumb in type 1 diabetes which is usually considered when starting insulin, it is by no means a law.

Gobbly could be experiencing insulin resistance as well. I don't believe there is a need to alarm anyone here.
