[QUOTE="dancer, post: 937560, member: 110569"] After an HbA1c of 46, with 16% of a fortnight's test results hypo and 34% below target but above hypo, I was told to reduce my basals (I'm on the pump). I haven't lost my hypo awareness but have been as low as 2.1 with no symptoms. My DSN said I should reduce each of my daytime basals by what amounts to a total of 8.6% but as I'm insulin sensitive I decided to only reduce by 4.3%. I've just had a result of 12.3, two hours after lunch (I've been told only to correct at meals). I don't mind raising my test results but don't want them to go sky high for a long period of time. Can anyone tell me how long I should have these raised sugars for? I have asked but don't yet have an answer. I presume it's at least 8 weeks but just want to know what others have experienced.
