they look pretty good, you're staying pretty steady, a little drop towards the end but I suppose potentially that could be heat or exercise of some description? I'd always say do things a few times to make sure it's a pattern but I'd saying it's looking like your basal is fine, if not pretty close to it.

Looks like you're staying steady overnight too so maybe no need for a 3am reading if you really don't want to do it!

Cheers Aymes, yeah 3am readings not my idea of fun!
I'll repeat it again in a bit.
 
Looks pretty good to me, you are slowly dropping so you might need a little less. But in reality you are going to be eating breaskfast and lunhc in the time of that basal test. basal tests I'm sure are affected to some degree by the fact that you are not eating, which is why it's not useful to do whole day basal testing. Also on basal bolus getting the basal perfect is not possible for most people, you don't have the flexibility of a pump to change each hour, once the dose is in it has to work for 24hours. I'm with Aymes on repeating the test.
 
Cheers Sofaraway, feel free to educate us more with other useful links!
