[QUOTE="Lord Midas, post: 1572703, member: 330044"] [FONT=Tahoma]Hi everyone, [B]Which is best. More Basal or more Bolus?[/B] What are your opinions on this question? I was reading Dr. Bernstein's book [I]Diabetes Solution - A Complete Guide to Achieving Normal Blood Sugars[/I] and in it he says that people shouldn't be taking more than 7 units of Basal insulin. Now 've been Itaking 32 units of Lantus each night and this made me think "whoa". So I've started lowering my doses (of Lantus) but I think this has had a big impact on my BS during the day. It's also meant that I've had to take bigger doses of Bolus (Humalog) to get me back to good BS levels. I think that getting your BS stable with Basal first is most important, regardless if it seems like a huge dose. Then the Bolus becomes easier to manage. [/FONT] [/QUOTE]
