How much should I increase my overnight/morning basal rates considering the following:
Last night I had it set to:
00:00 - 03:00 = 0.600
03:00 - 04:00 = 0.750
04:00 - 05:00 = 1.000
05:00 - 06:00 = 1.100
06:00 - 07:00 = 0.900
This is what I'm thinking of changing it too:
00:00 - 03:00 = 0.900
03:00 - 04:00 = 1.100
04:00 - 05:00 = 1.200
05:00 - 06:00 = 1.300
06:00 - 07:00 = 0.900
Is this too much of an increase?? It seems like I need a lot more considering I needed an extra 3.15 units but I'm wondering if I'm going a bit over the top with the increase. What do you think? What are your overnight rates compared with during the day?
- Blood sugar was 4.0 when I went to bed at 11pm. I had 10g of carb (I know, way too much but I was worried my levels would continue to drop because I had miscalculated the carbs in my meal and over bolused). 10g should have theoretically taken me to 7.0.
- At 3:20am I was 10.6 and took 1 unit (which should have lowered me to 7.6)
- At 6:00am I was 12.0 and took 2.15 units
- By 6:20am I dropped to 10.5 and continued to drop down to 7.0 and have stayed between 5-7 for the rest of the day.
