    Type 1 Highs up to 4 hrs after eating

    Hiya, thanks for the reply... When first diagnosed in Jan '17 they set my basal to 20 units, and my bolus to 20 units, 3 times per day. I started carb counting within about 6 weeks, and all my dosages changed obviously. My basal went down to 14 and my bolus went to 20:1... I'm currently on 10:1...
