Like anything new, basal-bolus therapy<br />
is not easy at first and you will need help<br />
in learning how to adjust your insulin<br />
for food, activity, sleeping and waking.<br />
However, once you have learned these<br />
skills, you should be able to get your<br />
diabetes under excellent control and<br />
live a more flexible, healthy life.<br />
