[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 1863627, member: 53162"] Hello [USER=487065]@azizdhl[/USER] If you have a hypo you need to establish why it happened, it's not necessarily the right solution to reduce your basal without knowing this. Have you done any basal fasting tests to check your background insulin dose is right ? I have different carb/insulin ratios throughout the day, this is normal, our needs do change based on many factors like exercise, stress. Correction ratios don't change as a general rule, however the higher your bg levels go the more insulin resistance you'll get so you need to increase your bolus, this can be different for everyone. Generally it doesn't matter what size bolus you take in regards to speed and effect, however depending on what you eat the results can be different, example is eating more fat as this slows carb absorption and can mean you go higher after 3-4 hours. Get a copy of 'think like a pancreas' this book is highly useful for understanding more about managing insulin in type 1. [/QUOTE]
