[QUOTE="Janelle123, post: 841315, member: 161646"] How much should I increase my overnight/morning basal rates considering the following: [LIST] [*]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. [/LIST] I'm pretty happy with my basal rate during the day (0.650) as it seems to keep my levels very stable but I'm not confident on how I should change my night time rates. 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? [/QUOTE]
