Are small doses of basal insulin not worth taking as a T1?

[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 947809, member: 12578"] I'm also taking about 0.18u of basal . If I were on a backpacking holiday that would be halved. Recently I forgot to put the cap on my cannula and went for an evening swim. Next morning my glucose level was 186mg/dl, I'm never that high in the mornings, it got worse after breakfast. I presume the salt water had made the insulin completely ineffective ( It took me ages to work out what had caused the problem) I'd rather take the basal and wake up somewhat lower. [/QUOTE]
