So, I am here all zombified due to a full on all night basal test last night
Here's the results
Pre bed: 4.8
23.45 6.2
12.45 7.0
2.30 8.5
4.30 9.6
11.30 8.2 (wake up)
My current basal rates are:
12-1 0.45
1-2 0.50
2-3 0.55
3-4 0.60
4-5 0.60
5-6 0.60
6-7 0.60
7-8 0.55
8-9 0.55
So I'm sat here working out what to change. If I had crawled out of bed earlier my levels would have been much higher, that's through sheer experience so I think I need more as we get forward during the night.
So, I'm thinking of changing my 1-2 basal and upping it to 0.55 (big jump I know, but go with me here) and then going 1-2 to 0.55 to match the 1-3 rates. And then going 3-7 to 0.65?
Or should I just go nuts dyu think and up the 0.6 to 0.7?
This is going to bug me all day, I'm not sure if its my tired brain just hating me and not letting me think so I thought I would ask your advice. Shall I just go with my first instinct and do a 0.5 change on the times I think I need more? Or shall I just throw caution to the wind and go for a 0.1 change?
Thanks all - my logic is totally out of the window today, if I did it without asking anyone I'd probably end up doing something really really stupid.
Sorry for asking so many questions, but with a nurse who is basically incontactable I could do with all the help I can get 🙂
