[QUOTE="novorapidboi26, post: 1294719, member: 90156"] I think my consultant is Dr Blackhurst, not seen him in ages though as hes been off on the sick....... As far as Basal doses go this is the long acting insulin, so Lantus or Levemir..... This is the most important dose as it this that hold your blood sugar levels steady in the absence of food or meal time insulin.... if you can get this right your putting yourself in a great position to tackle the insulin you will need for the food that goes in.. unfortunately as you haven't been trained it might be difficult to achieve......ultimately your looking to skip a meal and test at regular intervals to see what your levels are doing without food on board.......this will tell you whether you need more or less basal... the best place to start doing these tests is overnight as most people wont have food digesting then..... Is your basal dose split in to two separate doses or is it just one...? [/QUOTE]
