Strange insulin regimens

I was wondering if anyone else has seen really unique insulin schedules/doses on patients. I have seen a few lately and I'm trying to figure out if these are super rare or if it's relatively common to have these kind of diabetics. In outpatient, not inpatient

Unique in what way? More details would be helpful

Like for instance huge mealtime doses, 50+ units. Or very frequent dosing throughout the day (more than say, 2 basal and 3 mealtimes) Are these sort of things rare?

What if the patient's meals routinely run like 1800 calories, they are incredibly insulin resistant, and eat 5 meals/day?

Try to hide their silverware or something idk

Maybe they were prescribed by NP's.
