[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 2444984, member: 21149"] Hi. You have obviously done a lot of research already which is good. To roughly get the Basal right you need to have several hours without eating and see whether your BS goes up or down. It's not quite so easy with a split dose but you will find over time that you will inject different amounts in the morning and evening. The job of Basal is to balance the background glucose output from the liver. If you can self-fund a Libre 2 you will find it brilliant. I've been using it for a few months now and it's amazing. Eventually you may get NHS funding for it. BTW most people are started on a safe insulin dose so they are a bit high rather than going near a hypo. As you gain experience you can get your BS lower. Libre 2 has Alarms which I find really useful. [/QUOTE]
