48Basal-Bolus Insulin and Carbohydrate Counting
Back to basics
Baseline insulin doses are the basal ( background)
and bolus (carbohydrate) insulin doses that get your
blood sugars as close to target without many low
and high blood sugars.
In order to determine your baseline insulin doses, it’s important to get
“back to basics” for a short period of time. This will give you more flexibility
later on.
“Back to basics” means being consistent in your routine by:
• Eating meals and snacks with a consistent amount of carbohydrate
or following a meal plan.
• Checking your blood sugar levels at least 4 times per day
(before each meal and at bedtime) and 2 hours after meals
as needed.
• Keeping activity consistent.
