[QUOTE="ElkBond, post: 1240575, member: 270837"] I went (well still going) through a similar thing myself, I get low BG without any bolus, I sometimes creep up when there has been no food consumed. Biggest thing is to check basal. If your pancreas is throwing out a good amount the basal is adding to it and contributing to a low BG. I take it you are also eating snacks throughout the day to keep your bg level up. I had a few weeks on insulin then suddenly low all the time,I even had a whole burger and fries with a friend on no bolus (at the time I was going to bolus when my levels were above 5- it never did). I went from 12 units (which was still too little, to 5 units) now I am coasting on 3 which, depending on my activity, can be too much! When my basal became stable I found I had a proper carb ratio and less guesswork. Sorry for the long post, its just I went through the same confusion and my cure was getting that basal right as it will chew through carbs relentlessly if too high. Hope this helps :) [/QUOTE]
