Hi
I'm currently basal testing which I've not done for ages.
Just posting my results on here as a reminder to me how useful it is and also for any feedback.
I'm running a bit low but I'm holding off treating to see if it rises. I wear a CGM so that's supporting that decision right now!
9am 6.1
10am 6.0
12pm 4.4
1pm 3.7
I'll test hourly or if my CGM goes crazy alarming!
Michelle
ps basal
4.30am-2.30pm is 0.525
2.30pm-7.30pm is 0.475

Your bg was starting to go low at 12pm so peg-back your basal rate at 10am, once you've done that test your fasting levels again in a couple of days time and see what difference it has made.
