The basal is not supposed to bring post meal BS down. It is there to maintain your BS if nothing is eaten. Your requirements during the day and evening and morning can vary. The only way to do this is with proper basal testing. The bolus is to cover any food intake you have eaten. Many people and even educators get this wrong. You should be able to go for as long as you want without food on your basal settings and maintain your BS. It should not go up or down with basal.
