I take my basal at night before i go to bed...which seems to be either 2 or 3 units for now.
and i take my bolus before each meal so far the highest amount has been 2 units.
They are still trying to figure out what works for me I guess.
I have to call in with my blood sugar before every meal and then they tell me how much to take before the meal and then take my basal around 10pm..Im not too sure what the name of my insulins are or whatever..yet atleast.I have another appointment to go in and see them tomorrow night..not sure what its about..maybe to start teaching me how to figure out how much to take and counting the carbs in order to figure out how much to take or whatever.I dont find the pens that bad...but I do think what amounts they are giving me is low seeing as my blood sugar is still up.
But I do what they tell me for now until I learn to figure it out on my own.
