Hi everyone,
I have just found out from starting to use the Libre that my Basal dose was too high (only by 1 unit which makes a huge difference in terms of direction of background readings).
I was just wondering how often does everyone change their insulin(s) basal/bolus doses across the year/seasons/ weather changes? How much do you need to adjust them by? Are the patterns the same every year? Say you always need 10% more basal from November to March etc, or is there no pattern at all?
Thanks
