[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1361477, member: 32394"] Job of basal is to keep your blood sugar steady when not eating or taking bolus. If your dropping low in the morning maybe you do need to consider further ruducing your pm levemir. But usually it's make 10% change and see how that goes, so 7 units down to 6, rather than a 100% change of 7 units down to none. You could basal test to see how weight loss and travel has impacted the on basal requirements - [URL]https://mysugr.com/basal-rate-testing/[/URL] But basal testing might be a pain in the neck while traveling so maybe do an easy version of testing pre bed and on waking to see if the number is about the same (that's the aim) or if there's a big drop (suggests incremental dos reduction required) or rise (suggests incremental dose increase considered) [/QUOTE]
