[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 710137, member: 30007"] As I've mentioned previously, I changed to a low carb lifestyle a number of months back, and got a libre in October. One of the things I learned fairly quickly was that my basal level was somewhat out of whack with where it should be as I was experiencing a noticeable downward slope overnight. I've spent the last month or so adjusting levels to try and get the balance right. This was trickier than I expected due to splitting my basal into two shots and took a bit of hit and miss. But the end result is worth it. My overnight plot is now almost perfectly flat. Now I'm not saying it's made me feel vastly different, but it has stopped the waking up lows that I had been noticing. For me it's another reason why these devices should be readily available to all T1s, and I'm pleased that I got my basal back in line! A lovely graph!
