N/A because I use a pump. However, occasionally I take a vacation from pump use and use MDI dosing, usually at least 4 times a day for basal and meal coverage. Plus I may give an additional mini bolus dose to counteract a hypoglycemic rebound.
I do not use MDI’s. But, years ago, when I did injections, I averaged 3 times per day, plus occasional additional doses for high blood sugars, or unusual circumstances.
Regular 3 times per day, NPH 2 times per day.
Long ago I did use multiple daily injections and there were many, many, because I snacked between meals often. Everytime I put something in my mouth I needed insulin. Now I am happier with a pump.
N/A On a pump now, but was up to 7-8x a day on MDI.
After being cut off from my pump MDI is very difficult
I chose to go back to MDI. Do not miss my pump at all. Biut we are all different.
I split my Toujeo into am/pm doses. And probably 3 or 4 bolus doses.
26 years ago before I got a Pump I used “the Poor Man’s Pump” taking a dose of Ultralente in the morning and at night and using Humalog MDI for Carbs and Corrections, some days I took up to 14 injections. Glad to be on the Tandem w/CIQ
T1D=70 yrs, Age= 91 yrs… so I can’t recall exactly… Mostly it was once a day … then some at 2 times a day… then back to onece a day… then when the Human insulin came, I tried MDI for a short while [ NOT GOOD for me!!!!] Went back to once a day for a long time now…. in the morning…. Humalin 70/30…
Over 5/6 MDI per day… I must be missing something here. Assuming both long and short acting iand assuming a split dosage morning and bed (long acting) how on earth would anybody get over 5/6 MDI ? It would be massive “stacking” and dangerous as all get out???? 8, 10 times a day… that literally would be impossible except only using micro dosing. How on earth would that many ever possibly work????
