[QUOTE="Spiker, post: 532995, member: 102150"] Well pretty much the same here, no one taught me this stuff in nearly 20 years until I went to DAFNE, though I picked some of it up from Dr Bernstein's book and trial and error. I wouldn't want to guess what your basal rate would be but the thing to do is start at your current dose and wwatch your BG run during the day and see if it goes up or down. As you know what your correction dose is, use that to adjust your basal. So if you go up by 8 mmol/L in 24 hours (or 4 mmol/L in 12 hours) then you would want to increase basal by 8u / (correction ratio of 2u/mmol) = 4u. Or if you go down, reduce it in a similar fashion.
