[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 946218, member: 30007"] Well the Libre is proving it's worth once again. Having had a summer being reasonably relaxed about food, we hit the start of September and back to the gym on a more regular basis and not eating giant food portions. Macro levels are unchanged though, and all of a sudden my insulin sensitivity has shot up. I'd been happily living on 14-18u daytime basal and 6-8u overnight. My overnights are now much more insulin sensitive - I have had to reduce my non-gym overnight levels to the same as I previously used after the gym, and correspondingly, the post gym levels have also dropped. There's nothing explaining why this should be though, other than a lower level of body fat at the start point of this round of work. Astonishing to see the change though, as now I am looking at 13-14u for daytime and something like 4-6u for overnight, although I am concerned about dose longevity now. The three shots a day may soon be on the way. I'm looking at long acting levels that are as low as at any time I've been diabetic in the past 27 years. Even when I was on two shots of NPH in the honeymoon! [/QUOTE]
