i dont think a tdd of 50 is ALOT, im on a tdd of more than 50, 17u am levemir, 17u pm levemir and a ratio of 12:1 so usually about 10 to 12 u for lunch and evening meal.

Some people use a whole cartridge in a day!!

3u a day is small though. but as long as he's feeling better that's the main thing.

Have they told you about counting carbs or anything yet? Are you on a mixed insulin or basal/bolus?
