[QUOTE="Sanober, post: 237716, member: 33171"] Hi all just want to double check my DN's advice with this wonderful forum. I'm a slow onset of T1 so on small amounts of insulin. Basal is 12u Lantus Bolus is 2u Novorapid to cover my 3 main meals of the day. However I was experiencing hypos (not extreme ones but getting to the 3.5 mark and the symptoms) around 3-4 hours post meal. Usually after a small meal e.g breakfast. My question to the DN was surely around 3-5 mark the Novo is on the decline so why was I getting hypos around then? The DN suggested reducing my Bolus to 1.5 units for smaller meals. I tried this with dinner last night (which I worked out about 50g carb total) but was 13.7 about 2.5hours later...ooops. I'm not allowed to go on DAFNE until a year in or when I'm definitely a full T1 (how will they tell when I'll be full T1?). So I will test the 1.5u Bolust on my breakfast just now which will be about 30g carb and report back. Curious if anyone else has tested out the theory of reducing Bolus to curb the early onset of Hypos? [/QUOTE]
