0.5 would be ideal because you can get fine enough increments while still able to dial higher doses.

Actually, a pump is ideal
I have never taken 15 units in one sitting of novorapid in my life. I understand about the number of clicks which might get annoying but I currently only use 0.5-6units on my pen. 6 units would be 24clicks which isn’t too bad considering I rarely dose for 6 units and the full 15units would be about 60 clicks. 0.25/0.50/0.75/1 etc. Kids and anyone on their honey moon would definitely be a beneficiary and yes the ultimate answer is pumping but not all of us have that luxury .
