| | | Whats the Most Insulin you ever pumped in a day?
The other day i was reviewing my daily totals and found a new record. I had a high blood sugar that day and ended up taking 85.5 units of insulin. This is the most I've ever taken and i think it would be beneficial to hear the most all of you have taken in a single day.
So whats your daily record?

| | | I typically do about 70 to 75 per day, but 100+ isn't unheard of. The biggest is around 130. |

| | | I have been VERY insulin resistant lately and it has went over 90 a couple of times in the last few days. I am also fighting a cold, so I am sure that is the other underlying cause. |

| | The most ever was the day dh and I went out for our birthday... it was 134.02!  I blame that on the Big Mountain Fudge Cake at Black Angus...
I also kinda celebrated all that day, so there's my excuse.
I didn't do badly on Thanksgiving or Christmas, surprisingly!

| | | I think my most was in the high 70s once. Generally I stay in the low 50s. Last week I had a 68 and that really set me off because I knew about 15 units of that was just from chasing a high down.

| | | 22 units, I was chasing a high that day.
Which may seem like not much but I eat low carb and exercise a lot.

| | | I average 20-25 units a day. Last June when I was on my Alaskan cruise (and around all that wonderful food)...... I was pumping 35-40 units a day.

| | | My highest ever in history was 19.6 on January 4th. Must have had an exceptionally stubborn high or probably a bad site. My usual TDD is between around 11 and 17.
w5wJPjp I can't even imagine using as much insulin as you do a day!! 450 units would last me over a month. LOL
