[QUOTE="novorapidboi26, post: 1620844, member: 90156"] Novorapid and other bolus insulins have a duration between 3 to 5 hours.....for me personally it's 4.....so after 4 hours I would expect to see it back to what it was before eating... A basal test is when you go carb free or skip a meal in order to test your basal or long acting insulin....if it's hold steady....(within say plus or minus 2mmol)...then the dose is right....of not.... adjustment is needed.... You want to have the basal dose as close as possible to spot on as you can.... injection makes that difficult sometimes, however a split basal insulin, say morning and night....allows you to target the overnight needs and daytime needs seperetaly and therefore more accurately...
