[QUOTE="Zinadane, post: 2101512, member: 397875"] So I think I’ve sorted my morning highs, an extra 0.5units of tresiba (now 9.5 units @11pm). My BG from say 3am to 9am, seems steady without rising. The interesting thing which I am still adjusting to though is how much less fiasp I now need for my daytime bolus hits. I used to take typically around 10units at mealtimes and a total of maybe 40-50units through the day (snacking and adjustments). I reckon with this extra 0.5 of tresiba my mealtime fiasp can be reduced to like maybe 8 and my daily total of say 50 units is reduced to about 30 (with a lot fewer adjustment dosages needed). So for an extra 0.5 of tresiba I save 20units of fiasp per day! I guess it’s about getting that basal insulin level optimized as best you can and with a lower flat line level, you’re bolus requirement become significantly less. Still experimenting on days of higher exercise and getting used to reprogramming my brain to take less bolus. Just my findings anyway and wondered if others had experienced anything similar? [/QUOTE]
