Her 2-hour postprandial glucose values usually remain less than 6.5 mmol/L (117 mg/dl) despite only administering premeal insulin when her meals contain more than 60 g of carbohydrates.
The initial daily insulin dose was 0.5-0.6 U/kg and was divided into basal and premeal doses with a ratio of 50% : 50%.

A premeal blood glucose level determines whether additional insulin should be added to the premeal bolus to cover premeal blood glucose excursions using a sensitivity factor (SF).
Premeal BG measurement was performed before each insulin injection 30 minutes before the meals and the insulin dose was determined according to the BG levels: 100-200 mg/dL, same as the previous dose; >200 mg/dL, 110% of the previous dose; <100 mg/dL, 90% of the previous dose (2).
Guidelines for premeal insulin dose reduction for postprandial exercise of different intensities and durations in type 1 diabetic subjects treated intensively with a basal-bolus insulin regimen (ultralente-lispro).
If during a period of 1–2 weeks the premeal blood glucose >5.3 mmol/L or 2-h postmeal blood glucose >6.7 mmol/L, the women were to receive insulin treatment.
