hey shiftzor! thanx for explaining the reason behind 50-50 basal bolus, i didnt know that and docs sometime never bother explaining the whys but expect u to do as told.
i did try increased levemir but it was giving me lows all day inspite of adding on 3 times/day unwanted snacks. and i couldnt delay/skip meals so by the end of it all i stopped trying to keep my endo happy and fine tuned my dose as i saw fit, with sugars in range and minimal hypos.
didnt think that i might go higher if i skip a meal...havnt noticed this happen w other meals but it does w bfast...ie if i dont eat or eat late bfast, sugars hit the roof. will do more testing to figure it out.
thanx again
