Type 1 daily insulin units/Kg

There have been some threads about insulin requirements and it would be interesting to graph this information. It would also help if weight is removed as a variable. So divide your total daily dose by your weight in Kilograms (Pounds divided by 2.2) to work out your number.

I am interested in seeing what the spread for Type 1 members is. Some of the variation will; be caused by things like level of carbohydrate consumption and whether MDI or pumping is used. But it will interesting to see what the distribution looks like ....
