[QUOTE="Pneu, post: 205064, member: 28827"] Paula, I think you need to base a decision on more than one nights worth of readings.. I know its a pain in the butt but I would do maybe three or four nights worth of readings testing every two hours, it may seem like a real pain but once you have sorted your basal dose your life will be so much easier. For a one off set of results I would suggest that they look good although its difficult to be 100% certain if you are still in the honeymoon period and producing some of your own insulin that will muddy the waters a little. Hypo's are scary and certainly as a newly diagnosed you need to be extra careful but those readings are respectable and you should proud of them! I would suggest you do a couple more sets of readings and then make a decision... but as long as your blood sugars remain stable then I would say at the moment your basal dose is fine. [/QUOTE]
