[QUOTE="miahara, post: 2478328, member: 256148"] Hi [USER=550842]@andyasw[/USER] ! As Ellie says you should get your basal sorted first before tweaking bolus doses. The carbs divided by 5 is a very, very broad-brush way of establishing bolus dose; you need to try it and see. My bolus insulin-carb ratio varies considerably for different meals. Further more you'll find that you'll probably have to adjust basal and bolus from time to time. I've just lowered my basal by one unit as I've started having early morning lows and I know that once the weather warms up and I become more active I'll have to adjust bolus too. [/QUOTE]
