Hi Everyone,

I currently inject 22 units of Insuman Basal each morning. My Fasting reads are normally around 8 then spike slightly after breakfast and then drop all day.

should I divided my basal into twice a day - morning and night? My next clinic appointment is not until Decemver/January

I'm sure Insuman is an intermediate acting insulin, if I were you I would speak with your diabetes team about your bg levels and insulin doses, they will advise you further.
