[QUOTE="GrantGam, post: 1572833, member: 295621"] Your asking a question that doesn't make any sense - nor does it have a sensible answer. Bolus dosing (amount and frequency) is relative to what you're eating. As I take 18u basal; and my ICR is 1:12; then depending whether I eat either side of 216g CHO will dictate whether my bolus is more or less than my basal. Is either one better, not at all. What is important is that my BG control is good. Basal rate testing will help you set your dose accurately. That part is important. How much bolus you're injecting to cover your carbs is irrelevant, unless it's compensating for a lack of basal. But, basal rate testing will help you avoid that. [/QUOTE]
