I have no idea how one would figure out how to split up a 24 hour insulin. I'm not sure that it works the same as splitting a vitamin in two and taking half in the morning and half at dinner.
I think, that as with anything that comes to diabetes, it is trial and error for each user. What works for me may not work for you, and what works for you may not work for me.

I may have to take more insulin or even less than some others. It all depends on how things are with them.

I think it goes back to trial and error.
