[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1545561, member: 32394"] If your basal rate was previously too high that may have been, falsely, making your insulin too carb ratio lower than it actually is with the right basal dosage, because some of the carbs were being dealt with by the too much basal. So if you've just lowered your basal dosage, your I:C might need reassessing. If you're confident that pre bolusing works well for the meals you are eating, why not just increase the portion sizes or frequency of those meals. A bigger meal, along with an adequately adjusted bolus, injected at the right pre bolus, won't change the impact of that meal on your blood sugar. Double the meal size, double the bolus, or eat whatever it is you are happy eating for breakfast again at elevenses, whatever it is your happy eating for lunch again at 3pm afternoon tea, whatever for dinner again for supper.
