| Mine used to say "Do not exceed maximum of 80 units daily"
or what?
Now it says "Inject 90 units sub-Q daily"
Even worse the Levemir I use for non-pump days or back up in general says "Inject 300 units sub-Q in case of pump failure"
300 units???!!!! I don't think so. I take like 50 for a day. I think it's how the doctor writes it and how the pharmacist interprets it. Lots of places want a daily total to verify that you do in fact need that many (9 in my case) bottles for 3 months worth. What they don't get is that it can vary. They need to just say..."Use as directed" and be done with it. And as for the levemir, I think it was because the script was for 300 unit pens. It all just makes you wonder what else they mess up on...
