[QUOTE="smidge, post: 821896, member: 29301"] Yes, I've often thought of using some Actrapid or similar to catch the late BG spikes that I currently have to split the Apidra dose to deal with. However, my experience of using two different basals in addition to my Apidra showed me how difficult and how much care is needed when juggling multiple peaks of insulin simultaneously. A well-timed dose of intermediate Insuman basal with its 4 - 6 hour peak really worked pretty well for me at catching DP, so I can certainly see how adding a short-acting to a basal plus rapid acting would help, but it's not for the feint-hearted or those with a particular fear of hypos because juggling more than two insulins really isn't straightforward.
