I agree that testing 2 hours after a meal may be useful as it tells you what effect the mealtime insulin has had. A pre-meal test tends to focus on how much insulin to inject based on more woolly information so may be less useful. When I went on insulin my control was immediately improved but we all vary a lot. You need to check that your 18 units of Basal is the right amount. If you fast for a good few hours after the Basal injection your blood sugar should remain stable indicating a good balance as it works to balance the liver's background 24/7 glucose output. The 1unit of Bolus to 10gm carb is the normal startpoint for most of us but might need a slight tweak up or down</p></blockquote><p></p>
