with insulin, you can have a background one that doesn't change much, and a meal time one that you take when you eat, it doesn't have to be a set time or amount. you can even miss a meal completely
a bit scarey, but when you make the switch, you'll kick yourself you waited so long.

Hi,
Yes, as Jack412 said. Gone are the days of "insulin dependant" meal & snacking at certain times whether you wanted to eat or not.. As was in my case as a child in the 1970's with type one...
Insulin treatment regimes are far more flexible.now...
