My nurse changed my basal profile even though I said I was not happy with her decision, she gave me strict instructions to sit on my hands. Her mission was to eliminate the odd hypo I was having, but she ignored the highs. The below profile did eliminate hypos, but the highs are still there and even worse.
00.00 - 10,00 0.60uph
10.00-22.00 0.50uph
22.00-24.00 0.60uph
For two weeks I have been waking up in target, but throughout the morning and into mid afternoon I just keep on rising upto 13 or 14 mmol on average. For example waking 6,8mmol at 8am and rising to 13,8mmol by 2pm.
I figured I needed to raise my basal between 6am to perhaps 3pm in the afternoon, and put it in to practice last night. So I changed it for the first time ever to this:
00.00 - 06.00 0.60 uph
06.00 - 15.00 0.65 uph
15.00 -22.00 0.60 uph
22.00 - 24.00 0.50 uph
So far today, I have seen an improvement.
I woke at 5.4mmol at 8am. 25carbs 2.5units + 0.05 correction = total 2.55u
Lunchtime 7.4mmol at 2pm. 25carbs 2.5units + 0.70 correction = total 3.20u
Dinnertime 6,5 mmol at 7pm
I know I should do a fasting basal check but I thought I could give it ago based on the patterns I am getting not fasting.
Any pro pump users opinions / advice will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
