[QUOTE="iHs, post: 1008968, member: 8799"] Basal rate testing is as short as it is long, as any time is ok to start the test as long as bg levels are in an ok range and no bolus has been used and food eaten in the previous 5hrs leading up to starting. If you are always on 10mmol before bed and thats with food and bolus for eve meal, then ideally you need to give a bit more bolus with the meal so that 5hrs later, bg is about 7mmol and then go from there onwards through the night until breakfast. Once you work your way around the clock, doing 5hr basal rate stints at a time and adjusting as you go along so that bg levels will be a bit better when food is eaten the next day, you will be able to get around to changing the eve meal basals to get to the 7mmol range before bed. What target bg level target are you aiming for in the settings menu on the Vibe? Mine is set to 6.0mmol with no + or - Are you using the 100 rule based on the TDD that you are using at the moment?
