I'm doing this so I can get a pump
I have a split dose of levimir at the moment which I've been tweaking for the last few weeks. I needed to test my morning basal this week but didn't think I could if I'd had a hypo a few hours before I got up.
I've been on basal bolus for about 10 years I think and I don't ever remember doing this testing!

I'm getting mine because of my injection sites. They're awful! I'm taking just under 100 units of insulin a day because it doesn't get absorbed properly
I haven't don't any night testing yet, I'm trying to get my days right.
The doctor keeps upping my dose but it's not making much difference anymore. I sit at between 10 and 13 most of the time, corrections and things don't really work.
He said that to get a pump then your hba1c needs to be 8.5 or above. Last test was 8.4, typical!!!!
I'm waiting to hear if they'll fund it or not. Fingers crossed!
Hope things work out for you!

5.5u! I take 66u of basal in a day.
You can get funding if you have a lot of hypos as well so you should be able to get one.
I've had hypos for the last two nights so I think I'm going to reduce my evening basal anyway, I'll never be able to do my test otherwise!

There's no one size fits all. If it takes 66u to keep you in control then so be it!Oh I see!
When I was reading the thread the other day about how many units people take I was surprised, I didn't think I was on loads until I read that!
Funny how we're all different.
