[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 1812764, member: 468714"] Hi [USER=457983]@MStreet89[/USER], To check my pump's basal levels: 1) I check that I am not experiencing high BSL with ketones 2) I fast for 12 hours, (but drink water) and measure BSLS regularly 3) I view those levels and adjust to prevent low readings first, it may only be 0.25 for 2 to 3 hours spans to 0.50 for a single hour. 4) several days later I do a similar fast and see how that has worked. 5) I repeat the procedure of the other 12 hours if need be. 6) I have tried a 24 hour fast but found ketones would develop about the 18 hour mark, and ketones cause insulin resistance so may unduly influence the subsequent BSL readings. PLEASE CHECK WITH YOUR DSN/DOCTOR BEFORE TRYING SOMETHING LIKE THIS. [/QUOTE]
