Cool. I was just looking at this yesterday. I average about 38units a day. 22units of it is basal.
I take 24 units of lantis and then i take about 41/2 for breakfast ,4 for lunch, 7 for supper. I still take shots ,I seem to be one of the few that dont want a pump. Does anyone else feel like me.
15 units of Levemir between 10 and 11pm
4 to 6 units of Novolog before breakfast, lunch and dinner ( min 12 max 16)
It depends on the time of the month and it depends on how much/what I eat. It can varie between 25 adn 35 units per day.
I have 3 basal patterns
Regular pattern: 18 units
Pattern A: 16 units
Pattern B: 21 units
My daily average is between 30-38units
Glad you posed this question. I always wondered how much people took.
Lantus 4 units at bedtime, 3 units in the morning
Breakfast 1.5-2.0 units (depending on AM BG)
Lunch 2-2.5 units
Dinner 4.5 units
1 unit correction for every 30 over 120.
Total: 16
Was taking a lower meal bolus, but am trying to gain weight by eating more protein. Noticing I don’t take much compared to some others, but I’m a small person.
Tyler, I don’t mind injections & don’t want a pump either.
Doctor raised my insulin up from 20 to 26 daily. So far a little better and hardly any pain the legs to as well. Patti

I take 34 Units of Lantus in the am and adjust novolog with each meal/snack. Usually 6-8 units per meal.
I have 20 units of Lantus per day.
I run about 35 to 38 on average for daily total.
I’M USING THE OMNI POD AND I USUALLY USE BETWEEN 35 AND 45 UNITS A DAY INCULING BASAL AND BOLUS.
I average about 47 units a day! I get hungry, what can I say!!!
According to my insulin pump:
My average for the past 31 days is 29.32U.
10.76 Basal / per day
18.55 Bolus / per day
All Apidra (for now).
Age 31. Height 5’10". Weight 160lbs.
If I’m sticking to my “moderate/wisechoice” eating plan, I use 18 to cover basal needs and a total of about 16-20 to cover food.
I might be the lowest one here, I take 2 or 3 units of basal every morning, one unit of bolus with every meal. 5-6 units altogether.
I use about 23-25 units a day, including basal
I have type 1 DM, female, age 51, height 6’0’’, weight 137# and I use a pump. I have three basal rates:
Standard- 7.1 units/day
Pattern A-4.85 units/day and
Pattern B-8.95 units/day.
I am very sensitive to carbs and eat a vegan diet so get lots of them so only 30% of my average daily total comes from my basal rate. Average for the past 30 days has been 22.3 units per day.
