The downside with that is you have to eat every meal otherwise you risk raising your BG, I aim for basal 55% to 60% split. I am not suprised a 50% split didnt work, it wouldn't work for me
. Currently I am at 55.54% basal (Lantus) and 44.44% bolus (NovoRapid). I can skip breakfast/lunch without going high, not tried skipping dinner but theoretically possible. Down side is that you would have to redo your insulin to carb ratios, I prefer the flexibility
.
Basal % Split = (Total Basal/TDD)
Bolus % Split = (Total Bolus/TDD)
Bolus Units Split = TDD*0.44
Basal Units Split = TDD*0.55
