[QUOTE="Sideburnt, post: 1817205, member: 74515"] I think you nailed it with this being a secondary infection or period of inflammation. Something changed last night, yesterday 40 units kept me even overnight and then out of nowhere last night for the first time in 3 weeks my dose appears to have reduced significantly and 40 units crashed down to a lovely 1.5mmol/l at 2am and kept me low for a few hours. This situation was what I was afraid of, there's part of me that would have preferred my new basal staying at 40 units. No idea what to do tonight, probably reduce by 10 units and see what happens, at least that does wont allow me to visit either end of the BG spectrum too extremely. This is all pretty dangerous, I've no idea what would have happened if I hadn't set my Libre up through Xdrip to alarm. Drop even lower I guess. Grimm, not worth dwelling on. [/QUOTE]
