[QUOTE="leggott, post: 169733, member: 20065"] Yes, the bolus is the insulin given with each meal and the basal is the slow acting insulin given once or twice daily to deal with the glucose produced by the liver. I know it means more injections, but they soon get used to it and my son has been doing his own Injections since he was five, so he only needs someone to oversee what he is doing at school. Putting all that aside, from a control perspective the basal/ bolus regime will probably be better. A typical breakfast for my son would be a small bowl of bran flakes or toast and small glass of diluted apple juice totalling about about 40 - 50 grams of carb. Two hours after breakfast so about 10am he will have a small piece of fruit (no injection needed for this). I always try and make each meal consist of slow and quick acting carbs, which seems to avoid too many peaks and troughs in bg. [/QUOTE]
