[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 1743162, member: 21149"] Hi. You don't say whether the mealtime Bolus dose is fixed or varied to match the mealtime carbs? Varying the dose called carb-counting is necessary to get the best control and food flexibility. If your husband has some excess weight then that may reduce the insulin effectiveness. With excess weight and T2 there will be insulin resistance which prevents the insulin working well. He may already have too much insulin if there is excess weight. A low-carb diet is essential to get any weight down - I'm guessing of course. If he has lost weight recently without trying then Late onset T1 (LADA) is always possible. [/QUOTE]
