Hi, Sorry if this seems like a silly question but I am still waiting to see my consultant following diagnosis! I am doing pretty well with carb counting using the basal/bolus regime but had a question about bolus insulin. If for example I was to go out for a meal, injected insulin to cover...

Good day my beautiful friends! I hope that you are all very well today! I need your guidance with the following please: The theory: Basal insulin’s primary job is to keep blood glucose levels in check during periods of fasting, including sleeping. While fasting, the liver continuously secretes...
