I mean split the total dose of Insulatard into 2 doses, instead of just one per 24 hours. How you do this ie what times / time differences and what ration eg 50% each dose or 60% / 40% is down to experimentation. However, please ask your diabetes team for advice, as that's how I wokred out what works for me. Short acting insulin doses are unchanged, as what you are trying to achieve is more optimal basal doeses.
Very high or very low BS after exercising
