[QUOTE="Dabeast, post: 1683211, member: 468361"] I wouldn't think so. The first test result is just to see where you are at the start. If you are low at the second test its likely caused by the bolus, but if you have a hypo you have to treat it and abandon your basal test anyway. Use your second result as your baseline, if your basal is correct you shouldnt fluctuate much from this until the next injection. If bloods trend down, treat hypo, abandon rest of test and repeat next day, hypo again then reduce basal. Then repeat as above. If bloods trend up, again look for a repeat, and increase basal if this is the case. Only change one thing at once else you don't know what works and what doesn't. (that's why you don't complicate things by taking carbs or boluses) [/QUOTE]
