The usual daily maintenance range is 0.5 to 1 unit/kg/day in divided doses; patients who are not obese may need approximately 0.4 to 0.6 unit/kg/day, while obese patients may need approximately 0.8 to 1.2 units/kg/day. Type 2 diabetes mellitus: If control is inadequate on oral medication alone, an intermediate acting or long acting insulin is generally recommended, given SC at bedtime at approximately 10 units/day (or approximately 0.1 to 0.2 unit/kg/day).
