[QUOTE="iHs, post: 1090270, member: 8799"] It depends on the acting time of most bolus insulins.......4-5hrs for most of them and, not everyone wants to fast and basal rate test so it probably is safer in the long run to eat a small snack of about 5-9g carb and allow for the remaining IOB? (many wont know unless they have been given some guidance) together with the action of the basal, to sort out bg levels and probably just do a correction if need be at the next main meal. That way, hypos should be less. [/QUOTE]
