[QUOTE="ElyDave, post: 438676, member: 74042"] So far I've found that my basal is quite a bit higher than my bolus in total. Typical bolus insulin for me is maybe 6-8 units a day, 10 if i have a pudding as well. Basal, which I'm pretty happy with is 14 units per day, so twice typical bolus. My basal does need to be dropped quite a bit before extended exercise, plus ingesting carbs as I go, so drop breakfast from 6 to 3 units, bolus of just one units, then 45-60g carbs per hour and the next bolus dose cut by half. I am typically very insulin sensitive with a 20g carbs/unit ratio, and also quite lean at 67kg and 1.75m [/QUOTE]
