[QUOTE="Mad76, post: 2278466, member: 505154"] Thank you all for your replies. I had heard that the basal should be about half of the bolus, but tbh have not really followed that rule. My basal, which I think is tight, but I'm going to test is 10 so by that account I should be looking at around 20 units bolus daily I guess? I'm currently usually over this. If I'm honest, and I feel bad saying it, because this forum is quite strongly low carb, I eat a lot of carbs. It's interesting to see from the above it seems that amount of insulin doesnt seem to have any problems / side effects by itself. That's good to hear. Weight gain obviously seems to be coming through as a problem. I, like many lost a lot of weight at diagnosis. Pre this illness overweight. Now heading back that way. So cutting carbs, and therefore insulin is probably the best way forward for me. Agree about carb counting. My daphne got cancelled but I've registered on to Bertie online Thanks so much for the great replies [/QUOTE]
