Marina, the last thing you want to do is self-prescribe, please consult with your diabetes team before doing anything.

Hi Marina

Your long acting dose is quite low compared to your rapid acting. Normally a good starting point is 50% of your total daily insulin and adjust from there. It would be best to talk to your doctor about this, as you will never get control until your long acting dose is set properly. I hope you manage to sort this out soon.
