20 units!

Newly diagnosed my current dosage is 22 units at 9pm. When I was admitted into the hospital my blood glucose level was over 900. Guess I am lucky to be alive and very thankful it is treatable.

30 Units at bedtime. 20 if my numbers are low (100 & under) at bedtime.

my dosage of Lantus is 15 units at night

Anywhere from 6-14 U in the morning (I adjust this daily based on recent phisical activity level). When I am taking a lower dosage Lantus won't last all day so I will add 2U of NPH before bed so that I don't wake up high.

My 6 year old T1 gets around 7 units every night at dinnertime. I am constantly making tiny adjustments to the amount. She needs a little more when she's been exercising a lot, and less when her activity level goes down for more than a day. Her Lantus dose sometimes needs to change for no reason at all. Or at least none that I can figure out.

I am on 18 units of Lantus at bedtime.
Then I take Novolog before meals, based on my carb intake.
My daily Novolog usually totals around 25 units.
I have been T1 for almost 37 years.

I used to split my doses and take the Lantus 13 U am and 13 U pm, but now I take 26 U pm. I also take preprandial doses of Humalog, adjusted to the carbs I'm eating (usually 6 - 8). I was reading an article by some diabetes guru and he was talking about how doses over 7 U (of any type of insulin) were "enormous". That made my roll my eyes! :)
