[QUOTE="Jeannie3, post: 2090448, member: 296201"] Hi everyone I was lucky enough to have a Libra freestyle glucose sensor supplied about 16 days ago. It seems to have settled now and I am trying to scan every 15 minutes. My bolus has been changed and this has helped in my target range goal .... but am having problems now as it appears my basal rate from about 10 pm until the following morning at 7am is totally incorrect e.g. last night 4 hours after my tea and test was good at 6.5 and steady. At 11.30 it was rising to 9.9 ...then through the night I did a scan at 4 am and it was 16.9. Obviously I need to up my basal rate but am unsure of how much to increase it at what rate as it is currently at 17.00 - 24 hrs 0.500 u/hr and midnight to 4 am at 0.600 u/hr. Seems to be shooting up and I'm not sure how much to increase it by to be safe!!! Any recommendations please would be great :happy: [/QUOTE]
