[QUOTE="SimonP78, post: 2674827, member: 556474"] I also had to snack (including a bedtime snack) though on DIY mix twice a day man-made insulins (S&I) - I used to change my dosage based on what I was doing and eating, but reducing it drastically wasn't ever really in scope and the snacks were required because of the absorption curve shape (relatively very long). I guess an alternative would be to reduce dose (such that the snack carbs were not needed) and accept going very high immediately after meal times and then gradually coming down to normal range ready for the next meal. I think it was likely better to avoid those highs and to have had to fill in the gaps with many digestive biscuits and chocolate bars (in my case anyway!) :) [/QUOTE]
