[QUOTE="urbanracer, post: 1001159, member: 140811"] Hi Jon, Personally, no, I wouldn't. With a fixed insulin ratio of a 30/70 mix I would require another 10 units to stop me spiking after a 30g lunch. I'd then have too much long acting in my body and be going low mid afternoon. (Probably too low to drive home without eating again.) As I mentioned, I have rapid acting insulin pens that were originally supplied for sick days but was advised by a DN that they could be used for bolus injections. So I just take 2-3 units before lunch depending on what I'm about to eat. You might get away with spreading your insulin out if you spread out your carb intake to match it, but that's easier said than done if you're in a work environment all day. As always, I would strongly recommend that you talk to your medical taem before changing your insulin regime unless you have supreme confidence in what you're doing. [/QUOTE]
