[QUOTE="novorapidboi26, post: 1425486, member: 90156"] Its not silly at all... A basal test is a test of your long acting [basal insulin].... This insulin is meant to hold your blood sugar steady in the absence of digesting food and/or active quick acting [bolus] insulin... So to test you need have no digesting food or bolus on board..... overnight is usually the easiest and first place you should start.... so let your dinner food and insulin deplete and test before bed, you wouldn't correct either unless you really have to, in which case abandon the test... the libre can map out your blood sugar throughout the night and show you if the dose your taking at bed is right.... And its right if your blood sugar doesn't go up or down by more than 2mmol....I personally use 1.7 for the pump [/QUOTE]
