[QUOTE="azure, post: 1247984, member: 39639"] Perhaps you are still in the honeymoon phase? If that works for you and your diabetes team are fine with it, then that's ok. I think the situation is slightly different for [USER=290654]@Indie1[/USER] as they are taking more basal and then eating to feed the basal. Ideally, basal insulin should keep your blood sugar level all day and night without food. Then, when you eat, you take bolus insulin as necessary. That's basically what your body would do if it wasn't diabetic. [USER=290654]@Indie1[/USER] I think you should speak to your team and get a half unit pen, but also get some advice to avoid the lows. Using insulin is a delicate balance and tweaks are often needed, particularly early in diagnosis, but also for people who've had Type 1 for,years. [/QUOTE]
