Even if one did need 50/50 basal:bolus, one would need to consider one's own insulin production.
I say: Set basal such that BG remains relatively-constant when fasting. Work out the rest from there. |
exactly. mines working great at the moment. i think people often set basals too high, if its right you shouldnt need to snack to avoid lows, and you shouldnt need to do loads of corrective shots. if its right it will hold steady and doesnt have to influence what you eat, thats what the rapids for.
