I was able for a few months this year to not take corrections as they always landed me on the verge of or hypo no matter how small. If I left it it would reasonably correct overnight. It was put down to honeymoon at the time which I agree with. I'm now able to take small corrections at higher (double) figures and know roughly where I'll end up. It fits with my insulin sensitivity factor which I calculated.

I had to try taking 0.5 unit to see what that lowered me by until I cautiously tried 1 unit and I've been able to use the correction factor since. It's not hugely precise as I think I'm fairly insulin sensitive.

Just my two pence of my own experience.

Excellent. The half unit pens are invaluable to me. Most of my injections are half units. One plummets me except in the morning and I've tried eating more and I still drop.
