I'm aware that basal testing can be done either over a 24 hour period or over a few days.
How do you fit your basal testing in to fit in with your day to day life and meals mainly teas/evening meal?
I never know when to fit a basal test in. I wake around 7am because I have to do my basal insulin. I usually get up around 9am for breakfast. I go out to work from 11am - 1pm. Afternoon is usually free to do whatever I like. I have tea around 6:30 - 8pm ish......
If anyone could help me out on this I would be grateful.
One thing which does worry me is that either my bg wouldn't be in my target range when I want to start a test or I would never be able to complete a basal test because I would end up hypo every time.
