[QUOTE="iHs, post: 861920, member: 8799"] @ victry77 I didnt do any basal rate setting during the day for ages......I just got my night ok as I was going fairly low so started to adjust the midnight basal down, then the 2am. The 4am needed a tiny increase to cope with bg starting to rise at 6am but for a while, I just eat a small amount of carb before going to bed as I was starting to look worn out with not getting much sleep and my consultant told me to get some sleep in. The way I started to adjust the settings on the pump was as DDs consultant advised her......if bg is high or low 2hrs after eating, adjust the bolus, if bg is high or low 3hrs after eating, adjust the basal. When I did get round to basal testing, the basal rates were not far out but another way to adjustthem is to look online for the basal rate adjustment guide by Gary Scheiner and follow the correct row and column in the table.
