Is there any rule to spacing your basal and bolus injections apart? Or it is safe to inject both together

[QUOTE="Finnlee, post: 2541549, member: 557648"] Everyone's dose will be different so what works for me won't necessarily work for you. I don't notice any significant peaks with either my morning or evening dose. If I did and it coincided with a meal, I'd either adjust the basal dose or adjust the basal timing. Before my split, I tended to run high in the hours leading up to my once daily dose, but if I increase the once daily dose, I'd run low at other times of the day/night. Splitting works really well for me and when I showed my doctor what I'd done and how it was working for me, she approved. I was careful when I switched so I didn't double up on doses in the changeover. I erred on the side of less basal insulin (correcting with bolus as needed) until I found my sweet spot. [/QUOTE]
