[QUOTE="iHs, post: 1468697, member: 8799"] It took me ages to get all of my basal rates okish....I was either going down to 4mmol so had to stop the test or going up to 9mmol so stopped. In the end, I staggered the times that I had food with a bolus by 2.5hrs so instead of eating at 6pm, I had a meal at 8.30pm which allowed me to get about 3hrs worth of basal rates ok. I also kept my carb lowish to 20g for each meal to try to prevent going really high. For the low bg, I quickly realised that on a pump unless there is a lot of bolus active, most low bg can be fixed with just 1 or 2 jellybabies. It's different on MDI. I used Gary Scheiner guide to basal rate adjustment. It helped me adjust my basal rates down or up to the correct level. It's available online or can be found in Think Like A Pancreas? [/QUOTE]
