Seems to be the "standard method" used by the medical people - my honeymoon has 3 years on diet, then diet/metformin, then I started 6U/day Lantus 3 months ago.
I queried this approach with the endo, his view is that "you always get the basal right before doing the bolus" - his yardstick is the A1c. I'm due for an A1c test in the next few weeks, so will know shortly.
I still think that while my pancreas is partially working, I actually need help with phase1/2 insulin bolusing, & leave the basal to my partially working pancreas..... But then I'm only the guy with the diabetes, not the medical "expert"......
