[QUOTE="iHs, post: 933709, member: 8799"] Hi Everyone using bolus basal has to start somewhere during the day or night adjusting the insulin to reach the correct bg levels which ideally is easier to do working from targets than just using guesswork and hoping for the best. I never said in my message that you should still carry on using the 11u of levemir without doing some blood testing in the night to see how low you were dropping and if necessary to eat some glucose or carb. All I said was that going to bed with a high bg level wasnt too good and if that was me, Robert or DD, we would be doing a correction to get ourselves down to a sensible target which is why I mentioned the 100 rule. I think you will find that as you work your way around each meal time, adjusting the bolus with the basal, by the time you get back to bedtime again, your basal dose will probably need to lower even more than when you first started lowering it. so good luck with getting your basal ok again with the food and bolus you are using.
