What are everyone's daily basal rates?
I have always assumed that I am insulin resistant because I use more insulin than other people I am aware of. My endo has also told me that I am insulin resistant.
In a day I use 38.50 units for basal alone. But, since I am tracking and watching things better, I am slowly starting to fine tune my basal rates and can stand to go down a few units in a day collectively at different times.
What is everyone else's basal rates?

Kalia502,
I use about 49.5 units per day at rates as low as 0.95 up to 2.8 units per hour. I have 5 different rates over 24 hours.

I just looked back a few days, and my basal's run between 11.35 and 12.10. My TDD is usually between 38 and 40 units.

My son uses 1.0 units /hr...but he does a few temp basal rates every now and then... so he averages 24 or more a day.

Hi there! I'm newly diagnosed (Feb of this year) and have been using the One Touch Ping for about a month now. My basal rates are still being adjusted, but right now it's at 0.375/hr during the day and 0.325 at night with an 80% decrease for exercise, so anywhere between 8-9 units per day of basal.

Wow - just checked my basal rates.
Basal rates average 6.4 - 7 units a day.
Total insulin averags 14 -20 units a day.
This confirms my feeling that I am still in the honeymoon period. I halved my insulin needs when I switched to the pump though, everything is much more stable now.
