[QUOTE="Norfnife, post: 1176714, member: 283154"] Thanks, [USER=32394]@catapillar[/USER] . Yes, Solostar is Lantus so I will not rush things. I currently take 20 units at 10am each day, so calculating a 10% adjustment will be easy - to start at least! I do know that the Humalog is not working quickly enough for me as it seems to kick in approx 1.5hrs after I have eaten, which means my sugars are already way too high. It is for this reason that I want to try Apidra (I also had a very delayed reaction with Novorapid). Short of injecting today for a meal I intend to eat tomorrow, I am struggling to find a Bolus which works quickly enough for me but which won't then keep working for too long so I end up hypo. Hopefully, if I can get the Basal test sorted, the rest will work itself out but I do not have a lot of support from my doctor here and although he is willing to let me try things if I nag enough, he does not seem willing to be proactive unless I ask.
