A basal bolus regime aims to mimic the insulin secretion pattern in the person without diabetes. So, normally, there is a rapid increase in plasma insulin after meals triggered by glucose reabsorption into the bloodstream. Short acting insulin is given with meals to deal with this mealtime surge. Long acting insulin is given at night to gently bring down all blood sugars over a 24 hour period - sometimes called a background insulin. The aim is to reduce the risk of 'spikes' in blood sugar and to keep the blood sugar levels steady.

All women should have been vaccinated against rubella (german measles) at age 15. A percentage of women seem unable to carry that immunity permanently thus may not be protected. A woman contracting rubella during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy carries risks to the unborn fetus including blindness, deafness and microcephaly. If rubella status is checked pre-conceptually, this offers an opportunity to vaccinate prior to conception (pregnancy must be avoided for 3 months following vaccination).
