An insulin treatment method using two different types of insulin and usually consisting of at least 4 or 5 injections a day. Basal (or background) insulin is long-lasting and has a fairly flat, even activity profile designed to deal with the trickle of energy released by the liver throughout the day to fuel the body's background needs. Bolus (or mealtime) insulin is rapid-acting and is given before eating to allow the body to process the energy (carbohydrates) in food and snacks
