dear sir I understand your concern.let me tell u some facts about your insulin.the rapid acting insulin what you are taking will cover only one meal.that means if you are taking rapid acting insulin BBF it will cover your sugar for only break fast.in my opinion the best combination of insulin is take three times inj novo rapid and one shot of insulin to cover your basal supply for 24 hrs.kindly let me know your height and weight so that I can fix up your insulin regimen......regards
