[QUOTE="GrantGam, post: 1569063, member: 295621"] Then I'd look at reducing my basal dose. Basal doses and rates aren't static for everybody and can change when carb intake is varied. No silly questions here, only silly answers:) I think the answer to that question is yes; but I'm no biologist or doctor. Basal insulin is virtually the same as bolus insulin; it's just the rate it is released that differs. That's certainly the case with Novorapid and Levemir. So it would certainly have that ability. That's also why basal can cause hypos, because too high a dose removes too much glucose from the bloodstream and stores it in the liver and muscles. Once your liver and muscles are full to the brim, glucose is stored as fat. [/QUOTE]
