[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 774866, member: 30007"] For me it stems from unpredictability. As I've got older, I've found that the impact of a large dose in one shot is immensely variable and has been subject to interesting timing issues. Since undertaking my get fit plan which has also had the impact of massively increasing my insulin sensitivity (early morning corrections used to be 1u for 3mmol, now 1u drops me 5.5mmol at that time of day), I don't need the same level of insulin. I also try to eat carbs that are lower GI as they work better with my fitness programme, and these are easier to insulate for with multiple smaller boluses than one larger one. I guess the main reason I haven't used double digit novorapid shots was simply that I haven't needed to. I insulate based on carb counting and getting into double digits with novorapid is a lot of quick acting carbs (>100g) in a single feed. [/QUOTE]
