In the latest version of John Walsh's "Pumping Insulin" (had the book for
months decided
a few weeks ago to finally thumb through it) I came across a newer
calculation for your
TDD. Your body weight divided by 4. Fancy that. I'm spot on. :)

Signature

Reisa, T1, Animas IR1250 Pumper
DX-5/00 ASD-7/00
A1C: 6.2% (8/24/06)
Daily CHO: 150-200gm
TDD: 34-38u

So what? My TDD is less than my weight/4. Everyone is going to be a
bit different. Imagine someone with IR. or someone who overeats and
takes enough insulin to cover all that food. "Rules" (Like the 1500 and
1800 rules) are just a starting point; nothing more.
