I think it varies from person to person really. They have 'starting points' for when people are first started on insulin (I think it's something like 60% bolus and 40% basal), but then it can change quite a lot. I'm the opposite of you - I don't need basal at all, but need bolus, so I'm 100%:0%! 🙄
Thanks, so interesting and makes me think I can try to change my ratios. I still feel such a beginner and get no support or help, like many here, from my medical professionals. All they care about are lows and I rarely get them and there is nearly always a reason. Thanks for this amazing forum or I would be so isolated.
Well good morning everyone. I'm feeling almost back to my normal irritating self, with a saintly 6.1, and my liver is back to normal bunging that up to 10.1 before my breakfast cappuccino had its cinnamon sprinkles on. Doesn't matter how I fiddle the Levemir, can't get rid of that dawn phenomenon. No matter, roll on pumptime in the spring🙂
I'm last in again...I'm trying not to come online too early otherwise the day is gone. It's gone anyway, roll on the light nights so I can get in the garden. I've no sooner got up than I'm drawing the blind!
5.9 again this morning. 🙂 After what Owen told us I'm pleased with that. I'm not aiming for 4s any more.

This D is a contrary bu***r...After 10 days of higher than normal morning readings, sweating and headache I did a test at 3:05am- fine at 5.3, and this morning had a 6.0!
I'm now shattered as it took me ages to initially get to sleep knowing I was going to be woken at 3am, and then ages to get back to sleep afterwards. Matchsticks for work today I think 🙂
