1. Your weight (141 lbs.) / 4 = 35.25 units
2. Your total daily insulin dose (all insulins) = 18 units

Surely Insulin resistance/sensitivity isn’t the only factor, beta cell productivity comes into play as well. It’s an interesting formula I wonder if once my beta cells finally give up the ghost my TDD will go up to the expected 35units or close to.
