Hi, been a diabetic for last 15 years or so and never been quite sure on managing my basal rate on my pump.
Always had very good hba1c. Recently read about basal rate peaks/valleys as described here and became a bit concerned about mine as there’s a lot. (See here https://diatribe.org/issues/26/thinking-like-a-pancreas )
Here is my current basal and yesterday’s CGM results

I’m having hypos in the am which I’ve been slowly reducing 1-2 hours before each hour it’s low.

However, the drop from 1.1 to 0.5 at 22:00-23:00 seems drastic but necessary considering my blood sugars are ok during this period but doesn’t stick with the “not multiple peaks/valleys” discussed in the link above.
