[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 2120429, member: 374531"] Basal should hold your bg steady when you're not eating or injecting bolus insulin. It's worth playing around with basal amount - get it right, a lot of the rest if it falls into place and makes it much easier. If basal is too high, you're going to get slow glides down which will take you gently but still nastily into hypo land. If basal is too low, bg will rise way too high when the last bolus shot wears out. If you get basal right, it means you don't have to mess around sorting out drops/rises with dextro or fast acting. I'll sometimes just have a really long lie on a Saturday or Sunday till about 3pm, basically because I'm lazy, but the idea is that because I've had no fast acting or food since the pub closed at about midnight, my basal should hold me steady +/- 1.5 till 3pm. If it doesn't, it needs tweaked. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
