[QUOTE="Chas C, post: 2222650, member: 49223"] This seems a very odd way of managing and much more complicated. Injecting your basal via a pen with long lasting insulin will cause the peaks a troughs you would normally get with a pen dose, low action at beginning and end and higher action in the mid point. It would also not cover the adjustments most of us need across the day for basal (like dawn etc). Anyone doing this would have to work so much harder to cover the either under dosing or over dosing of basal and then the meal bolus's would be affected too. I don't personally see that the benefits outweigh the extra effort needed, but there could be people with other impacting conditions where this might be there better option but not for me. [/QUOTE]
