[QUOTE="Diakat, post: 1890248, member: 206249"] Hi [USER=468725]@Libby3781[/USER] I use the same fast acting insulin and have not been told to use it rigidly 4x a day. I use it when I eat, so sometimes 4x a day if snacking, sometimes 3 or 2x. As you mentioned your team may be trying to get you into a routine of eating, but part of the advantage of the two different insulins is that you can eat irregularly and different amounts. And 20 mins before eating can be helpful to reduce spikes, but real life sometimes gets in the way! I would go to the appointment and ask for more info on why they are keen on 4x day when bolus insulin allows flexible eating. [/QUOTE]
