A type 1 diabetic patient with strict diet and high exercise requires 6-8 units of insulin daily to maintain A1c below 6%.

“I only have one patient in my practice who has type 1 diabetes but he is such an interesting patient because of his incredibly strict dietary control and his unbelievable appetite for exercise and he I've never seen a higher level of adiponectin in a human I've never seen a higher level of sex hormone-binding globulin in a human which are basically and we know how much insulin he has because he injects it and he injects so little insulin into himself and yet can seem to you know he has a hemoglobin a1c below six using six to eight at units of insulin a day”
