Message: <blockquote data-quote="noblehead" data-source="post: 952597" data-attributes="member: 11028">Hi [USER=43498]@CatLadyNZ[/USER], The first rule for anyone on a basal/bolus insulin regime is to get the basal dose right, if you don't get that right then everything else fails and you just end up chasing your tail all the time.Gary Scheiner ( The author of the book Think Like a Pancreas) gives a good explanation on what role basal insulin plays and why it is important to get the dose right, if possible give your friend a link to it or print the article off, he should also consider buying the book as it offers up some great advice on controlling type 1 diabetes:<a href="http://integrateddiabetes.com/basal-testing/" target="_blank">http://integrateddiabetes.com/basal-testing/</a>Hopefully when he gets the basics right and starts seeing improvements in his bg levels he can then look at his diet and overall health, do try and get him to join the forum at some point as there's some very knowledgeable type 1's on here who will help him on his journey.</blockquote>
