The two-shot doesn't work well. It WORKS, but until you've done it another way, you won't realize how poorly it worked.

I'm only trying to help. I'll back out now, because I DON'T want you thinking anyone here is bullying you, that's NOT what this place is about.
Duck, I don't think you were bullying.

But I think you are mistaken about a 2 shot a day regimen. I did it quite successfully for a number of years back in the "bad old days" I had a sliding scale for my R (fast acting) that accounted for fasting bsl, a set amount of NPH (long acting) that I took (which the morning shot covered lunch) and I even had a system of + or - units (off of my sliding scale) worked out for the meals I usually ate. Pasta was +3, chicken with a bit of rice and veggies was -2.

Of course I had to get up at the same time every day, eat basically the same things every day, eat snacks 2 hours after each meal, and eat those meals on schedule every day... It was hard...and I hated it... but it can be done.
