The Pharmacokinetics of Insulin
The basal insulin I like this formula 0.1 to 0.2 units per kilogram per day so Paul for our standard 100 kilogram person which is a 75 kilogram person now it's a standard 100 kilograms that's 10 the math is easier Paul and then or just 10 units for most people should be okay. A common one people use is glargene which there are some biosimilars of which might be cheaper on the formulary but that's a common insulin that's usedwhich is a once a day There is another basal that's a twice a day it's a 12 hour and so I'm kind of alluding to the duration of action for insulin which is important
