[QUOTE="plantae, post: 2586133, member: 565464"] Am I on a basal bolus regime even though my bolus doses before meals are fixed? Maybe I've been using the wrong words all along, I just assumed that lantus + bolus before meals was basal bolus regime... nobody has actually ever told me that I just googled it. Yeah I was just about to edit my previous comment to add that I don't have creon with my 2PM glass of milk, so that makes things different to breakfast as well. That complicates things probably My basal might not be correct (still). In LibreView my fasting periods (night) are right at the bottom of the grey bar (4.1-4.6, average probably 4.2). The BSL line just skims along right at the bottom of the grey bar. Last night was in the 5s but that's probably because of the toast with honey and copious glucose that I consumed. In my uninformed opinion I'd prefer that fasting level to be in the 5s or low 6s. Something else to ask DN about Yes, I overcompensated but that's because I panic. It wasn't a disaster: I've gone higher just from breakfast before, but I check every 2 minutes and expect it to be back in the normal range. I made a spreadsheet this morning where I can write down what time I check, what my BSL is and what I consume, because I don't mean to check every 2 minutes I just go into a state of panic and start gulping down glucose and checking. I think this more methodical approach will suit my personality better. The glucose tubes do work very quickly for me though and now that I know that I'm a bit calmer. So, yes, progress!! [/QUOTE]
