Doing the basal test exercise will enable you to separately focus on basal and bolus insulin action. You could be surprised at what you find. And the exercise will definitely help you use the most approrpriate tactics.  |
Oh, I'm not questioning the value of basal testing. I do intend to do that. I just mean I don't see how I could be bolusing too much. I very often get the balance wrong and bolus too little, and then I'm too high within 2 hours of eating. If I bolus such that I can be closer to 10 2 hours after a meal, I WILL come down before the next meal.
I just want to wait until the Christmas season is over and my life's on a more even keel before I try the basal testing, though. But I will.
