It is apparently a very effective MDI regime if done right. It comprises of a low basal dose in the morning to keep you steady between meals, rapid insulin across your meals and snacks and then NPH at night - timed to peak alongside your DP.So to answer your first question, I wouldn't be taking the basal and NPH at the same time. Small basal dose in the morning and NPH in the evening timed to peak against your DP. But I'm no specialist and I'm only regurgitating what I've read in books. Have you used a rapid insulin before instead of a short acting one like your Actrapid?</blockquote>
