Starting Basal-Bolus

Make sure you check your bg regularly to avoid hypoglycaemia, you should also purchase a good book that lists the carb content of food so you can match this to your insulin doses, the Calorie Carb & Fat Bible is a good comprehensive guide.

Hi. Do investigate carb-ounting so you match the insulin to your food and not vice-versa. Those number of units are quite high and imply you may have some excess weight? If not already low-carbing you need to be doing that to possibly get both excess weight and the nunber of units down otherwise you could get into a weight-gain spiral

My tip is - don't try and inject slowly. Think of it as like popping a balloon - it's a lot less painful ;-)
