Type 1 Basal and bolus

[Nadia19]

Hi looking for a question to be answered, had dinner sugar at 9 before 2 hours after at 10. 3 hours after 12? Am I not having enough basal on board ? Or would this suggest more bolus at meal times ?

Took my basal insulin at 1030am this morning so it’s been 11 hours .

Hi,

What basal are you prescribed?

I take Levimir 10 units in morning 6 at night time.

Thanks, just trying to direct an appropriate response for you..
I use a different basal. However, basals are the foundations to test before knowing what maybe happening with the bolus insulin.

Take a look at this.maybe worthwhile what your basal is doing, before looking at what you bolus? https://www.mysugr.com/en/blog/basal-rate-testing/

I know throughout the day I come down nicely and sit steady in between meals even a 10g snack doesn’t move the level much. Could this be bolus ?

When (what sort of time after..) are you having the 10g snack after the meals?
