[QUOTE="AMBrennan, post: 345398, member: 37697"] Ideally, post-meal BG should be within 3 mmol/l of the pre-meal levels; if it's higher you need to take more Novorapid *with* the meal - correction doses are for when you get the carb estimate wrong etc. increasing basal insulin to cover the meal rise is inadvisable (you'll go hypo if you miss a meal). The estimates for insulin requirement based on weight are just a starting point after which you have to use trial and error. What's more, I would suggest not worrying about the insulin dose while you are taking as all those other drugs that play havoc with your BG levels. [/QUOTE]
