well i take between 5-8 units of Humalog when i get up and between 10-15 units of Lantus before i go to bed.i used to be on 4 shots a day but i had to cut myself down because it was keeping my bloodsugar way too low

for what i was a year ago. and i am on large doses of insulin. still out of control. those people were probably not on medicine. i average 100 units total of humalog a day and i take 98 units of lantus in the morning and 85 at night

not long ago i had been in the hospital for some reason and after being there for 3 days,they checked my bloodsugar and for some reason it was 500!.i have no clue how it was that high because i had been eating the food they provided,i took my insulin when they brought it,they kept tabs on my bloodsugar...etc and i felt fine too.only thing i can think of was my nerves caused it
