[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 1143246, member: 21149"] Hi and welcome. I suspect as the weeks go by things will get calmer and you will feel less stressed. To balance the insulins you normally start with the Basal. My DN told me to adjust it bit by bit until my morning fasting level was between 5-7 mmol. Sounds sensible and I still go by that. Make any changes 1 unit at a time and wait 2 to 3 days before adjusting further. Once that is adjusted you can check that your Bolus ratio (2 units to 10gm carbs) is right for you. Test just before and 2-3 hours after typical meals and check that the readings are similar. Make small changes to the Bolus if not. BTW are you having a low-carb diet as well to avoid weight gain?
