[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 939360, member: 17713"] As a general rule of thumb: your levels are rising or dropping 2-3 hours after a bolus.. Then your bolus needs adjustment. At all other times it would be basal. Hiwever sometimes it can be both. The reason I say this is because our bodies generally like a certain ratio of bolys to basal. If you drop basals by say 10% then sometimes you can also find bolus's need an adjustment too. Eg... If my body runs on 10 units of basal a day and my whole day of bolys adds up to 10 as well. If I then end up knocking 1 unit of basal off because of summer weather then I will also need to lower my bolus ratio as my body does not work well when my basal bolus ratios are knocked out of sync. (Figurs quoted aren't real, just examples). Most consultants like people to run on a 50/50 ratio. I run at 30/70.. Its what my body likes.. [/QUOTE]
