[palefacegirl03]

I average about 70 units a day.

[Subby]

I pump between 80 and 110 units of novorapid a day.

Derek, I also am interested in why your daily usage went down so dramatically. Low carb? Exercise? Different insulin? I'm intrigued :)

[UpNorth]

On MDI i'm on about 88 units in total per day, plus minus some units depending on activity and food intake... On the pump i'm usually somewhere around 70-80 units of Novorapid in a day... Mostly around 80 units though...

Only been pumping 3 days, but so far it seems I'm down to around 24-25u per day. I was on the mid 30's towards the end of MDI.

It's a fairly weird low number IMO; I am 39, weigh around 200lbs, am not overly active and I eat 220+ g of carbs each day. I've been T1 for 13 years so I'm hardly honeymooning, so it's clear to see that we are all very different and that one size fits all measurements for requirements just don't work!
