[QUOTE="Postleneo, post: 1557767, member: 260061"] The correction dose would not affect your basal unless of course your basal dose is incorrect. I would guess that unless you have done any intense activity your high reading is most likely as a result of either a miss calculation in carbs you have consumed or your basal needs a little tweaking. If your basal dose is correct and your bolus was taken 3-4 hours ago and you have no insulin on board it may well be that your insulin to carb ratio may need adjusting. If that's the case than I would say a correction dose would be required which would not affect your background insulin but would bring you back intro range. I obviously can not advise on the correction you will need as this is base on the ISF which is different for we everyone. Has your DNS discussed and advised you of your correction dose? [/QUOTE]
