I will shortly be officially pumping and will need to do some more basal testing. Been using the freestyle libre (also testing the Glimpse app) and have a few questions regarding the best way of testing during the night to get the most accurate results before fine tuning the basal. Thought of the following different ways
1. Soley use the freestyle libre and sleep through and analyze the results following day
2. Wake every 2 hours and scan
3. Stay awake and scan every 2 hrs
4. Ask partner to remain awake and scan every 2 hours while I sleep
5. Wake every 2 hrs and finger prick
6. Stay awake and finger prick every 2 hrs
Reasons why I ask is because I'd love to get the most accurate readings before I start to tweak the basal and I'm not sure weather sleeping has an affect on how blood sugars either rise or fall during the night.
Would be grateful if any advice or your thoughts
Cheers guys
