[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 666067, member: 17713"] [USER=89494]@Omnipod[/USER] You may well find that increasing every hour basal by 0.05 is going to be too much. However, this depends on the qty of insulin you are pumping thru each hour. Eg for me I will only change by 0.01 extra each hour at a time if needed because I am on less than a unit per hour. However, another pumper I know uses at least 2 units per hour and will do increase of either 0.05 because this is all the pump will allow. The increase starting at 4pm when basal testing just is because you haven't got your basal rates right for 1pm or 2pm. Once these are corrected and basal tested again then the rises after eating can be adjusted. Personally though, I would not go a full day till 6pm without eating. If testing afternoon rates you would be best to have your breakfast. If testing morning rates, then finish around lunch time. It is not really advised to go without both breakfast/lunch to do a basal test day. [/QUOTE]
