It is variable.
But I'm 220, 6'6"
I use ~24 units per day basal rate (continuously pumped, amount programmed over 24 hours)
And 1 unit of insulin per 15 grams carbohydrate.
I usually average ~50 units per day.
Additionally my pump (tandem x2) has a lot of loss due to their loading system. For 300 units loaded, you get 250 deliverable units. Reloads happen about every 5 days.
For use per month, I have 2 vials per month prescribed.
If you are thinking about cost: pump insertion sets and continuous glucose monitoring sensors are all very expensive as well.
