Most of us manage our own doseages. I don't know if you are ready or not. You might want to discuss it with your doctor first.

For MDI the basic plan is to adjust basals until fasting is lw, then adjust boluses until meals work. It's not just quantity though. Timing, carb quantity, carb quality, fat/protein content, and carb timing all impact our numbers.
