problems - help needed!

Was fine til 2 then woke up at 5.3 then started raising
Woke up at 7 & am 14.4 😡

So did you test between 2 and 7 AM so you know when the rise started?

There's no point in getting mad about it, all that is happening is your body needs more insulin at a certain time. Your job is to find out where that rise starts and then decide what time you are going to increase your basal from to counteract the rise.
The pump is only delivering what you have told it. 🙂

Odd that Laura woke to 6.7 the day before though... when as far as I know the only adjustments made were around the 10pm-2am time.

Would be good to get a couple of 'detailed' sets of results though to see if you can see a pattern emerging in some kind of reliable way 🙂

i started rising from 2-4am (i know i dont have the dawn phenomenon)

from looking at it, between 12 - 2 i start dipping so was thinking of knocking back 5% & see if that helps at all

my time blocks from 2am - 7am have been put up by 10%

have stayed high all day & gone higher so going to put a TBR on as i'm getting cranky

my current ratios are

10pm - 11pm = 1.50 u/h
11pm - 12pm = 1.45 u/h
12pm - 1am = 1.45 u/h
1am - 2am = 1.55 u/h
2am - 3am = 1.75 u/h
3am - 4am = 2.10 u/h
4am - 5am = 2.40 u/h
5am - 6am = 2.70 u/h
6am - 7am = 2.70 u/h

then from 7am - 8am i go to 2.20 u/h then drop down into the 1.something units

i only have 1 basal profile set on my pump

To prevent the dip at 12 midnight, reduce the base rate from 10pm or 11pm at the latest.

To counteract the rise from 2am, increase the base rate from 12 midnight or 1 am at the latest - no good doing it at the same time your BG changes, that is what is called locking the stable door after the hoss has bolted !

I found that (the required time-lag) quite a hard one to get me head round properly, and do 'automatically' - despite the fact that when you think about it, it's sensible!
