For injection users, how many injections per day do you take? Poll dates: December 12 - 19, 2004 Total Votes: 631 For injection users, multiple daily injections, also known as basal-bolus therapy, provides much the same schedule and mealtime flexibility that users of insulin pumps experience. Typically this involves the use of Lantus (insulin glargine) as a basal insulin, accompanied by injections of NovoLog or Humalog to cover mealtime carbohydrates. From this poll, it's clear that injection users are moving away from a two-shot-per-day regimen of Regular and NPH to a regimen that relies on more injections to achieve better blood glucose control and increased flexibility. Of those who report using injections, more than half (54%) report taking four or more injections per day. Only 27% report taking two injections per day or less. The table below compares the results of this poll from the last time we ran it with the current results: Answer       Dec 2004     Dec 2003 1 4% 1% 2 11% 15% 3 10% 15% 4 17% 19% 5 8% 6% 6 or more 5% 9% [Return to the current poll]
