a bit too far recovered 8.3 just now
I have to bolus for getting out of bed. I even have a formula for the bolus based on my BG, which works surprisingly well.6.7 before bed, 7.1 on waking, 9.2 40 mins later, 11 an hour after getting up. Not really DP, more getting up "phenomenon". Absolute nightmare. Adjusting basal to make sure the waking rise is flattened.
Yes, this is what I wanted a pump for. I've been adjusting settings and my out of bed rises the last week have been phenomenal. Combined with DP that occurs from about 3am to 10am, it can be a bit of a pain in the backside to control.I have to bolus for getting out of bed.

Well, my trick only works for me so I wouldn't want to post the numbers here, but I base my bolus on whatever my BG level is when getting up - the higher I am the bigger the bolus. I don't have any carbs for breakfast so it really is just a getting up bolus.@robert72 Interesting - I've found if I'm in single figures, I usually rise by 3 mmol within the hour for getting to work.
If I'm in double figures, I sometimes reduce by 2 within the hour.
What's your trick for working this out, if you don't mind me asking?
It's really something I worked out over time by observation, trial and error, so I'm sure you will find a formula that works for you.Yes, this is what I wanted a pump for.

Quite. I've lots of observation and tweaking going on. Then I had a revelation as to how stupid I was being this morning. Hopefully tomorrow I should have banished it!It's really something I worked out over time by observation, trial and error, so I'm sure you will find a formula that works for you.
